Alcohol Screening Phoenix

When a person gets in a car under the influence, they may or may not be aware of the reprecutions they face under the law in Arizona.  Below you will find a short outline of the Arizona DUI laws.

Arizona DUI Law ARS 28-1381 states that it is unlawful for any person to drive, boat or operate any aircraft while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, inhalants or any combination thereof if the person’s blood alcohol concentration is .08% or greater within two hours of driving or operating said vehicle.

Any person stopped while operating a commercial motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .04% or greater is considered to be under the influence and will be arrested.  The allowable BAC level is much lower while operating a commercial motor vehicle because a CMV is much larger than the average passenger vehicle and causes considerably greater damage to personal property and the possibility of death to another vehicle’s occupants is a lot greater.

First time offenders must request a license suspension hearing with the Arizona MVD within 15 days of their arrest.  Failure to request a hearing within this time frame will result in an automatic 90 day suspension.  A license suspension hearing is not something you want to try and navigate on your own, it is very important that you hire an experienced Arizona DUI lawyer and have the lawyer setup the hearing and represent you at the hearing if you value your driving privileges.
