Identifying Whether a Driver is Under the Influence in New Jersey

According to the state of New Jersey's website, the most scientific measure of identifying whether a driver is under the influence of alcohol is through blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Typically, law enforcement will test BAC through either a sobriety or breathalyzer test.

Under New Jersey law, when a person with a BAC of 0.08% or greater operates a motor vehicle, they are considered to be driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI).

Facing a DUI charge is a serious offense. Without proper representation by a NJ criminal defense attorney, you could face serious penalties, including:

* Fines, fees and surcharges
* Jail time
* Community service

If you have been charged with a DUI in the state of New Jersey, your best option is to discuss your situation with a New Jersey criminal defense attorney.
