Michigan DUI Lawyer Paul J. Tafelski Explains the Drunk Driving Limits in Michigan
Jan 4, 2023
January 04, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Michigan DUI lawyer Paul J. Tafelski (https://www.michigandefenselaw.com/mi-owi-dui-lawyer/) releases a new article explaining the drunk driving limits in the state of Michigan. The lawyer mentions that over the years, enforcement of DUI and OWI laws has become more aggressive and charges more punitive. Police stops can target people unfairly and use inaccurate evidence or improper procedure.
“Getting pulled over for suspected drunk driving in Michigan can be intimidating and frightening. It is important to take DUI charges seriously, even if it is your first DUI offense. A conviction for a DUI could result in a host of penalties, as well as a criminal record,” the Michigan DUI lawyer says.
In Michigan, the legal limit for alcohol in a person's system while driving is 0.08%. If a person is found to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, they will be charged with operating while intoxicated (OWI). This is a serious crime that can result in jail time, fines, and the loss of driving privileges.
However, it's important to note that a person can still be charged with OWI even if their BAC is below 0.08%. If a person's ability to drive is impaired due to alcohol or drugs, they can be charged with OWI. This means that even if a person has had just one drink, they can still be charged with OWI if their driving is impaired.
For those who are under the legal drinking age of 21, the BAC limit is much lower. In Michigan, anyone under the age of 21 with a BAC of 0.02% or higher can be charged with OWI.
In addition to the criminal consequences, an OWI can also have a significant impact on a person's personal and professional life. It can result in higher insurance premiums, the loss of a job, and damage to a person's reputation.
Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled DWI lawyer when facing a DWI or DUI charge. An experienced lawyer may be able to help the defendant understand their rights and protect their freedom.
