What Is DUI Less Safe?

Unlike the state’s per se DUI laws that punish drivers based on their blood alcohol concentration levels, the DUI less safe law can charge drivers within the legal consumption limit if their driving is deemed to be unsafe because of it. The law may also be applied to DUI cases where the user is showing impaired abilities from drugs.

How Is DUI Less Safe Proven?

To be charged with DUI less safe, the arresting officer must be able to prove that the driver was rendered incapable of driving safely due to the quantity of alcohol or drugs in their system. Without sufficient evidence that the driver’s abilities were hindered, a conviction is difficult.

In order to show impairment arresting officers will normally ask the driver to perform several field sobriety tests. During testing, the officer will be looking for any evidence of impairment caused by intoxication. This could include, balancing issues, not following instructions, and other impairments.

However, our attorneys will diligently examine the field sobriety testing to build a defense and fight to show that you were capable of safely operating your vehicle.

DUI Less Safe Penalties

DUI less safe cases carry the same penalties as a DUI, per se. That being said, convicted drivers will face a misdemeanor charge, a fine of $1,000, up to one year in jail. DUI programs, community service, and even clinical evaluations.
