At what blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level can a person over 21 be charged with DUI in California?

  1. .04

  2. .06

  3. .08

  4. .10

The correct answer is: .08

In California, a person aged 21 and over can be charged with driving under the influence (DUI) if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reaches or exceeds 0.08. This legal limit was established to enforce safe driving practices and reduce alcohol-related accidents on the road. At or above this level, individuals are presumed to be impaired and can face legal penalties, including fines, license suspension, and possible jail time. The legal framework is designed to promote public safety, acknowledging that alcohol affects an individual's ability to operate a vehicle safely. A BAC of 0.08 is considered the threshold at which the risk of impairment significantly increases, which is why this level is enforced as the standard for DUI charges.
