DUI Per Se Georgia
 |
|---|
“Per se” is the Latin term for “in itself,” which means that because your BAC was over the legal limit, you have committed a crime. To determine your BAC, the officer may ask you to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test, with the breathalyzer being the most commonly used of the three. Your BAC reading from this test can be used by the prosecution as evidence during your trial.
You may be asked to take a breathalyzer test if you were pulled over and the officer smelled alcohol on your breath or saw other signs that led him or her to believe that you were under the influence. The officer may ask you to take a series of field sobriety tests, designed to help the officer estimate your BAC.
In addition to being charged with DUI per se, you could also be charged with DUI less safe. A DUI less safe charge means that the officer believed your driving was impacted by the consumption of alcohol. To prove this charge, the officer may be called to testify about your actions and appearance at the time of the drunk-driving incident.
