Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
It is unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug to drive a vehicle.
It is unlawful for a person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle.
**IMPORTANT** If you have multiple DUIs and you kill someone you can be charged with murder. It’s referred to as the Watson Advisement.”
I understand that being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, impairs my ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous to human life to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both. If I continue to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, and as a result of my driving, someone is killed, I can be charged with murder.
