For drivers with three or more prior Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) convictions, the limit is lower: they cannot operate a motor vehicle if their BAC is greater than 0.02 Drivers under 21 years of age are required by law to maintain "absolute sobriety," and, for them, driving with any amount of alcohol in their system is illegal. A driver is "under the influence" when his or her ability to operate a motor vehicle is impaired. A person's ability to operate a motor vehicle is impaired if he or she is less able to safely control the vehicle because of the consumption of alcohol or controlled substances. This means that if a police officer pulls you over and determines that you are impaired by alcohol and/or any other drug, you could be arrested and prosecuted, regardless of your BAC. Penalties for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated range from a forfeiture and license revocation for a first offense, to up to 6 years imprisonment, 3 year license revocation and possible seizure of vehicles for subsequent offenses. Additionally, more severe penalties apply if injury or death results. But no matter what your legal status, it is always wise to avoid driving if you have been drinking. A recent review of alcohol impairment studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) concluded that impairment of some driving-related skills begins with even the smallest amount of alcohol in your system.

Drunk driving kills, and we must work to eradicate this problem. This web siteoffers information for the victims of drunk driving and their families, as well as toolsfor the prevention of drunk driving. There are many laws on the books to penalize drunk drivers: Offenders can and do spendtime in jail, lose their driving priveleges, pay restitution to their victims, and losepossession of their vehicles. In order to prevent today's alcohol abusers from creatingtomorrow's victims, we must have the means to identify and treat substance abusers beforetheir addictions cause death and dismemberment. While there is much that governments can do to prevent drunk driving, and punish thosewho break the law, the responsibility to follow the law falls to each individual. Byworking for the appropriate development of our youth, our community can reduce the crimerate for years to come.

Zero tolerance for underage drinkers: Suspects who are under the age of 21 may be tested for alcohol without a searchwarrant. Drivers under 21 who test at .02 or above will be charged with drunk driving;non-drivers who test at .02 or above will be charged with being a minor in possession ofalcohol (Exceptions are provided for recognized religous ceremonies). Vehicle Seizure: Drunk drivers may have their vehicles seized upon conviction. When a vehicle is seized,it may be sold by a local law enforcement agency. The proceeds of this sale will; 1.

Consistent licensing sanctions: Requires courts and the Department of State to impose licensing sanctions based uponthe driving record. This will take into account an offender's prior convictions. Eliminates hardship appeals for habitual alcohol offenders: Abolishes hardship or equity license appeals to circuit court for habitual alcoholoffenders. Eliminates hardship ex parte licenses: Courts may no longer order temporary driving priveleges based upon hardship for personswaiting to appear in circuit court on a restoration appeal. Statute of limitations for filing restoration appeal: Sets an appeal deadline of 63 days, with a 182 day exception for good cause.

Driving Under Influence

61-8-401. Driving under influence of alcohol or drugs -- definitions. 61-8-401. Driving under influence of alcohol or drugs -- definitions. (1) It is unlawful and punishable, as provided in 61-8-442 , 61-8-714 , and 61-8-731 through 61-8-734 , for a person who is under the influence of: (a) alcohol to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle upon the ways of this state open to the public; (b) a dangerous drug to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle within this state; (c) any other drug to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle within this state; or (d) alcohol and any dangerous or other drug to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle within this state. (2) The fact that any person charged with a violation of subsection (1) is or has been entitled to use alcohol or a drug under the laws of this state does not constitute a defense against any charge of violating subsection (1). (3) (a) "Under the influence" means that as a result of taking into the body alcohol, drugs, or any combination of alcohol and drugs, a person's ability to safely operate a vehicle has been diminished. (b) Subject to 61-8-440 , as used in this part, "vehicle" has the meaning provided in 61-1-101 , except that the term does not include a bicycle. (4) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration of alcohol in the person at the time of a test, as shown by analysis of a sample of the person's blood or breath drawn or taken within a reasonable time after the alleged act, gives rise to the following inferences: (a) If there was at that time an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or less, it may be inferred that the person was not under the influence of alcohol. (b) If there was at that time an alcohol concentration in excess of 0.04 but less than 0.08, that fact may not give rise to any inference that the person was or was not under the influence of alcohol, but the fact may be considered with other competent evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of the person. (c) If there was at that time an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, it may be inferred that the person was under the influence of alcohol. The inference is rebuttable. (5) The provisions of subsection (4) do not limit the introduction of any other competent evidence bearing upon the issue of whether the person was under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of alcohol and drugs. (6) Each municipality in this state is given authority to enact 61-8-406 , 61-8-408 , 61-8-410 , 61-8-714 , 61-8-722 , 61-8-731 through 61-8-734 , and subsections (1) through (5) of this section, with the word "state" in 61-8-406 and subsection (1) of this section changed to read "municipality", as an ordinance and is given jurisdiction of the enforcement of the ordinance and of the imposition of the fines and penalties provided in the ordinance.

Georgia DUI Guide: Lawyers, Attorneys and Drunk Driving Defense Laws Everything You Need to Know About First Offender DUI / DWI, Drinking Driving and Drugs Home | State By State Help | DUI Lawyers | Insurance Help | Breath Testers | DUI Videos Other States Georgia Topics Georgia DUI Georgia Car Insurance Georgia DUI Lawyers Google Search Results Georgia DUI Information What Happens To First Time Offenders in Georgia? Written By: J. Michael Mullis, Attorney at Law Georgia First Offender There are two types of DUI in Georgia: "less safe driver," based on your appearance, demeanor, and driving at arrest, and "per se" dui, based on your blood alcohol level (BAC). Two types: 1. DUI by being "Less Safe" (impaired) driver by alcohol (or drugs); 2. DUI by test result showing Unlawful Alcohol level, now 0.08 grams BAC. 1st Offense: $300 to $1,000 fine, 10 days jail (must serve at least 24 hours), 12 Mos Prob'n, 40 Community Svc hours. Dvr Lic (or operating privlege in GA) suspended for 12 mos. upon conviction, with early Reinstatement if complete DUI School and $200 pay fee after 120 days, but limited work permit IF licensed in Georgia. Administrative Lic Susp (ALS) for 12 mos for 1st DUI unlawful BAC or Refusal of Test. Deadline of 10 business days to request Hearing to prevent ALS. You Are DUI: If your blood alcohol level (BAC) is .08 or above, you are DUI. However, you may be arrested under "less safe driver" statutes if you appear to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, even if your BAC is below .08. First Offense (within a five year period): Fine: $300.00 -$1000.00 plus statutory surcharges (typically 15-25%). Jail: 10 days to 12 months, all except for 24 hours may be suspended, stayed or probated. If your BAC is less than 0.08, you may not have to do the 24 hours. If you plead guilty or are convicted of DUI, you must be placed on twelve months probation less any jail time received. Community Service: The law requires a minimum of 40 hours of community service unless you are under 21 years of age in which case you must do at least 20 hours. The actual time is set by the Court. License Suspension: On a first offense, if you do not request a hearing in 10 business days, then on the 31st day after your arrest, your driver's license will be suspended for one year. You will be able to get your license back at the end of 120 days if you have completed an alcohol/drug risk reduction course (DUI school) and paid the appropriate reinstatement fee ($200.00 via mail or $210.00 if you apply in person). Limited Driving Permit: During the first 120 days of suspension, you may be able to get a 30 day limited driving permit. (You cannot obtain this particular permit from a DMVS walk-In location. You must obtain it from the main DMVS office in Conyers, GA). If you are under 21: You are DUI if you have a BAC of .02 or above. Your license will be revoked for either 6 months (under 0.08 blood alcohol level) or 12 months (0.08 or higher) and no limited permit is allowed. Drugs: If you are convicted of a DUI charge that involves drugs, your driver's license will be suspended for one year, and you will not be able to get it reinstated for six months. No limited driving permit is allowed. Refusal To Submit To Test: If you refuse to submit to tests requested by the arresting officer(s), your license will be suspended for one year. Commercial Licensed Driver: If you submit to testing and the results indicate the presence of any alcohol, you will be issued an out-of-service order and will be prohibited from operating a motor vehicle for 24 hours. If the results indicate an alcohol concentration of 0.04 grams or more, you will be disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle for a minimum period of one year. DUI School: In order to reinstate your driver's license, you must attend a mandated DUI assessment procedure and 20 hours of DUI classes. The fees are approximated $75 for the assessment and $200 for the classes. Courtesy of: J.
