Ok--I know that is a cheap way to scare up a readership. But I want to reach out to those who may be out at a sports (or other) bar watching your favorite team and tossing back a few cold ones. It's about OUI's:
While a person commits the offense of operating under the influence (OUI) when the State proves that she was operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level (BAL) of 0.08% or more, it is not mandatory that a blood alcohol level reading be obtained for her to be convicted. If one’s physical and mental capabilities are impaired in any way, that person can be convicted if the State proves that the driver’s consumption of alcohol (or drugs) caused that impairment. Evidence of erratic driving, unusual behavior, and performance on field sobriety tests can be used to prove that a person is guilty of OUI.. Beware! Failure to submit to a blood alcohol test results in an automatic suspension of your driver’s license for 275 days for a first offense!
If you think you may be on the hook for an OUI, please visit our website at www.mb-law.com.
