Impaired driving occurs when an individual operates a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol that impair the individual’s ability to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. State statutes vary; however, each state has a DUI (driving while under the influence) or DWI (driving while impaired or intoxicated) law that sets forth the legal limits for blood alcohol content (BAC). A person’s BAC is measured by the ratio of alcohol to blood or breath. If your BAC is over the legal limit, you may be found guilty of impaired driving.
