DUI (Driving Under Influence)

DUI, or Driving Under the Influence, refers to operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs to a level that affects your ability to drive safely. Laws set legal limits for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or drug levels; exceeding these limits constitutes a DUI. It impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction times, increasing the risk of accidents. DMV penalties can include fines, license suspension, or criminal charges. DUI laws aim to prevent accidents caused by impairment, ensuring safety on the roads for all users. It’s important to avoid driving if you are impaired by any substances that affect your ability to drive responsibly.
