You can get a DUI in Phoenix Arizona without being drunk!

Guy Drinking Bar - shutterstock_40585228_edited-1.jpgIn Phoenix Arizona, you can get an Arizona DUI, even if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is below 0.08? The 0.08 is only one of a number of measurable standards that can be used to justify charging someone with a Phoenix Arizona DUI. If you are stopped, and tested for a DUI, and your BAC is not 0.08 or greater, you can still be charged with an Arizona DUI. It's called being "Impaired to the Slightest Degree".

Any Arizona DUI Defense Attorney will tell you the same thing...that is, you can actually be charged with an Arizona DUI if you had no alcohol at all. Let's say, for example, you are stopped for a minor traffic violation and for some reason the police officer suspects you have had even one alcoholic beverage or have taken medication, prescribed legally by a physician or even some over the counter medications. You can still be tested and even charged with am Arizona DUI--a serious offense, if the police officer has reason to believe that a minor amount of alcohol or medication caused you to be slightly impaired while driving.

It can easily happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Don't allow the old adages, such as "I can handle my liquor" or "I won't get a DUI, I just had one drink", to give you a false sense of security, at least not in Arizona anyway.
