Understanding DUI Offenses
DUI offenses in Pennsylvania are categorized based on various factors including blood alcohol concentration (BAC), prior convictions, and presence of aggravating circumstances. It is important to be aware of these categories to understand the potential consequences and seek appropriate legal representation.
1. General Impairment DUI
A General Impairment DUI is charged when a driver's BAC level is between 0.08% and 0.099%. It is important to note that even with a BAC below the legal limit, an individual can still be charged if their driving is visibly impaired.
2. High BAC DUI
A High BAC DUI charge applies when a driver's BAC level is 0.10% or higher. This category carries stricter penalties and potential license suspensions, necessitating professional legal guidance.
3. Drug DUI
In Pennsylvania, a Drug DUI is charged when a driver is impaired due to the use of illegal drugs, prescription medications, or even over-the-counter drugs that affect their ability to operate a vehicle safely. It is essential to consult an attorney experienced in drug-related DUI cases.
4. DUI with Controlled Substances
DUI with Controlled Substances is a specific category within Pennsylvania law that pertains to impaired driving while under the influence of controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or other illicit drugs. These cases require specialized legal expertise.
5. Underage DUI
Underage DUI applies to drivers under the legal drinking age of 21 who operate a vehicle with any measurable amount of alcohol in their system. Our firm understands the unique considerations and potential consequences for underage individuals involved in DUI cases.
