DUI in Georgia

Driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in Georgia is very risky. In addition to facing some of the toughest DUI laws on the books, state law imposes mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines for convicted drunk drivers—even if it is your first offense.

Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, you may be charged with “per se” DUI (if you are caught driving with a blood alcohol content, or BAC, above the legal limit of 0.08%) or “less safe” DUI (if your BAC is within the legal limit, but you show signs of impairment).

You may also face additional charges for violating the state’s Zero Tolerance Laws, which impose a much lower 0.02% BAC limitation for drivers under 21.  Likewise, if you refuse to take a breathalyzer or submit a urine and/or blood sample to determine your BAC, you can be charged with violating the state’s Implied Consent Law.

Regardless of the type of DUI charges you are facing, the penalties for drinking and driving in Georgia include a mandatory license suspension, jail sentence, and fine. Repeat offenders face even tougher punishment, and may be ordered to enroll in a substance abuse treatment program and/or perform community service.

Along with the criminal consequences of a DUI conviction, you may also face long-term repercussions for your actions, including higher auto insurance rates and limited employment, housing, and educational opportunities.
