What is drunk driving in the state of Michigan?
In Wayne County and throughout Michigan, drivers are drunk driving if they have a blood or breath alcohol content of .08% or higher. The government not only cracks down on drivers under the influence of alcohol but illegal drugs as well. The legal limit for a person under the age of 21 is much lower. Drivers under 21-years-old have a legal limit of .02%. At a BAC of .17% or greater, a driver risks a charge of “Super Drunk Driving,” also known as OWI with a High BAC, and this offense carries a maximum jail sentence of up to 180 days. The bottom line is that no matter what your age or walk of life, a DUI of any type can have a devastating impact on your life.
