- Traffic ViolationsBecause alcohol breath and urine testing is cheap, fast, and reasonably accurate it is regarded very highly as evidence in court. Alcohol DUIs are a “per se” crime. This means that even if a driver is not noticeably impaired, driving with a BAC above a 0.08% is itself illegal. This can result in DUI charges without reckless driving. For example, a driver with a high tolerance for alcohol may be able to drive without impairment, but is stopped for a busted tail light. The police officer notices the smell of alcohol on the driver’s breath while asking him for his license and registration. After the driver complies and tests at 0.10% BAC, he is arrested. Even a simple violation like this can result in a DUI if the driver has been drinking. This can be problematic for drivers who have a high tolerance for alcohol and misjudge their own alcohol levels.
