Georgia DUI Law
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) is a serious offense in Georgia. In order to safe guard the rights of citizens, Georgia has passed DUI Laws via new DUI legislation which dictates a mandatory jail time.
There are two ways to convict someone for DUI as per the Georgia DUI Law:
- Per se Provision
According to this Georgia DUI statute, the defendant has a BAC level of 0.08 grams or more blood alcohol concentration within three hours, during or after, driving or being in control of a vehicle.
- Less Safe Driver Provision
The driver is identified to be “less safe” to drive a vehicle. According to Georgia state DUI law the driver is required to be in a “less safe” condition caused by alcohol.
With a blood alcohol level of 0.05 grams or being “less safe,” the inference is the driver was not intoxicated, however, the state can still convict you by proving that you were a less safe driver because of alcoholic concentration or other intoxicants.
If you have been stopped for Georgia DUI (either alcohol or drugs), you need more than just a criminal defense attorney. You need a proven Georgia DUI lawyer to represent you in all Georgia DUI proceedings.
