DUI Law in California

 

DUI law in California is complex.  A legal professional can help guide you through your California DUI case every step of the way.

DUI or driving under the influence, is operating a vehicle after consuming alcohol or other drugs.  In California, a person may be liable depending upon the degree of the impairment of motor skills.  Driving under the influence results in a large number of deaths and injuries in California, and nationwide, each year.

The specific offense may also be called driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving while impaired.  Typically, DUI or DWI laws also apply to operating boats in California, piloting aircraft, and even riding bicycles.

Since 2002, it has been illegal to operate a vehicle in any state with a blood alcohol level of .08% or higher.  However, in some states, the required percentage may be even lower.

Under all circumstances, driving while consuming alcohol in California is illegal. In many states, it is illegal for an open container of an alcoholic beverage to be in the passenger area of an operating motor vehicle.
