DUI in Georgia

Being charged with driving under the influence (DUI) in Georgia, is one of the most serious offense a driver can face. And, after imposing some of the harshest DUI laws and penalties in the nation, state lawmakers are reluctant to show leniency to those convicted of drunk driving. As a result, drivers who are arrested for DUI face severe punishment, including hefty fines, a lengthy license suspension, and even a mandatory jail sentence—and that’s just for a first offense.
There are numerous ways a person can be charged with Georgia DUI. If you are operating a vehicle with an illegal blood alcohol content (BAC), you can be charged with “per se” DUI, even if your ability to drive is not impaired. On the other hand, if you do show signs of impairment, you can be charged with “less safe” DUI, regardless of whether your BAC is above or below the legal limit.
In addition to these laws, Georgia has strict Zero Tolerance laws prohibiting underage drivers from operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.02% or more. Commercial vehicle drivers must also abide by a lower 0.04% BAC limit—even when operating a standard-sized vehicle. And, regardless of age or the type of vehicle they operate, all Georgia drivers are expected to follow the state’s Implied Consent law, requiring you to submit a breath, blood, or urine sample to any police officer who suspects you of driving under the influence.
If you are convicted of any type of DUI charge, you can expect to face the legal consequences of your actions, as well as long-term ramifications in your personal life. As a convicted drunk driver, your insurance rates are sure to skyrocket and you may discover that you are ineligible for many employment, housing, and educational opportunities as well.
