DUI Information
Nevada DUI
Nevada DUI has two types of cases: court case and DMV case. The term “driving-under-the- Influence” with reference to the Nevada DUI laws refers to driving a vehicle under the alcoholic influence or the degree of influence that has resulted in an unstable and unsafe driving under normal circumstances.
Nevada DUI conviction can occur when a person drives a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or with a Blood alcohol concentration or Breath Alcohol level (BAC/BAL) of 0.08 or greater.
Nevada DUI cases can be charged when a person who may appear normal but is identified to possess 0.08% of BAC. This is better known as “per se law” as per the Nevada DUI Laws that states, “that it is illegal to have more than 0.08 regardless of the person’s impairment level.”
Nevada DUI arrests trigger the new implied consent law. According to this law, no one has the legal right to refuse to provide a blood or breath sample when arrested for Nevada DUI. All Nevada drivers have impliedly consented to a test of their blood or breath for alcohol content simply by obtaining a Nevada driver's license or by driving on Nevada's roads.
