What is The Legal Definition of Drunk Driving?
The legal defintions of “driving” and “drunk” are open to many interpretations, which vary subtly from state to state. In some places “driving” can include sitting still in a parked or wrecked vehicle with the motor off, or starting up a car in driveway. Police can and do arrest people whom they believe are drunk before they get on the road and even when they’ve pulled off to “sleep it off”, if they’re in the driver’s seat.
As for the definition of “drunk” there are several major factors to consider. You can be “legally impaired” in the eyes of the law without ever taking a drink. If you have taken other substances (including prescribed medication) that affect your abilitry to drive. You can also be found drunk even when you have all of your faculties in perfect working order.
In short, you can be found guilty of drunk driving, also called driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI), if the state can prove that your are “legally impaired”.
What's the Legal Limit?
Blood tests measure the number of grams of alchohol per 100 millileters of blood, and breath tests measure grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. In most states you can be convicted of “drunk driving” when either level is at .10 percent or higher. However, in the state of Oklahoma .08 percent is considered Driving Under the Influence. But remember, you can be convicted based on the other factors even if you don’t take the test. The police may sometimes be able to require that you take a blood test to determine if you have been using drugs. Even if you have taken a legally prescribed dose of medication, you can be convicted if you are found to be impaired.
