DUI PENALTIES IN ORANGE COUNTY CA
All 50 states have now set 0.08 blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) as the legal limit for
driving under the influence (DUI) or driving
while impaired (DWI). For commercial drivers, a
BAC of 0.04 can result in a DWI or DUI
conviction nationwide. For those under 21 years
of age, there is a zero tolerance limit. Even the
smallest amount of alcohol is grounds for a
DWI or DUI arrest.

DUI ENHANCEMENTS

• Enhancements are factors that can make a somewhat
  routine DUI into a more serious DUI. Enhancements
  can cause the D.A. to request jail time, longer
  alcohol classes, and more Caltrans or Community
  Service work. Some of the factors affecting your
  DUI case are as follows
• If you were involved in an accident
• If your alcohol content level was too high
• If you were driving too fast or recklessly
• If you had minors in the car while driving under
  the influence
• If this is your second or third DUI
