Sacramento DUI Lawyer
What Is the Legal BAC in California?
As in the rest of the U.S., the blood alcohol content (BAC) limit in California is 0.08%. Those under age 21 are considered drunk at 0.02% and can face strict penalties. When a driver has a BAC of 0.16, he or she can face enhanced penalties under an aggravated DUI charge.
What sets California apart, is that our state has some of the strictest DUI laws in the nation when it comes to penalties.
