DUI Alcohol (VC 23152(a) & (b))
Driving under the influence or with a BAC of 0.08% or higher.
Understanding DUI Alcohol (VC 23152(a) & (b))
California Vehicle Code 23152(a) makes it illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol. VC 23152(b) makes it illegal to drive with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. Prosecutors typically charge both offenses simultaneously. Even if your BAC is below 0.08%, you can still be convicted under 23152(a) if the prosecution can prove that your physical or mental abilities were impaired to the point that you could not drive with the caution of a sober person.
