Whats a BAC and why is it important?
Your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) is evidence of how impaired you were at the time you were driving (or in “actual physical control” of the vehicle). Even if your BAC is less than 0.08, you can still receive a DUI if the police officer believes you are impaired to the slightest degree. If your BAC is 0.08-0.14 within two hours of driving, you will be charged with a DUI. If your BAC is greater than 0.15 within two hours of driving, you will probably be charged with extreme DUI which, if you are convicted, results in more severe penalties. If your BAC is 0.20 or higher, you will probably be charged with super-extreme DUI and you will face even harsher penalties. Our experienced DUI Defense Attorneys in Phoenix will help confirm whether the BAC equipment used was properly calibrated and whether the officer giving the BAC test was adequately trained. All of these factors have an impact on the outcome of your case.
