Driving Under the Influence Lawyers

Each year about 40% of all traffic related deaths are a result of DUIs (driving under the influence). Law enforcement agencies have taken many measures to prevent drivers from stepping into a vehicle and driving drunk. In addition to imposing tougher penalties, law enforcement has increased the number of sobriety checkpoints, community education programs and the amount of officers they have patrolling the streets. This is part of a major effort to crackdown hard against drunk drivers throughout all of Alabama.

When a person drives with a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of 0.08% or above, they can be charged with DUI. BAC is measured by a breath test or a blood test in Alabama. The first thing a officer will typically do when he or she suspects DUI is to perform field sobriety tests along with the BAC test. Although you do have the right to refuse both types of tests, refusing a breath test will result in the automatic suspension of your license. Once arrested,your driving privilege will typically be suspended and in order to continue to drive you must schedule a DMV Hearing and challenge the DUI charges you face with t.he Department of Motor Vehicles.
