Across the nation, a driver is considered driving under the influence if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or greater. In fact, if your driving ability is affected in any way by a prescription drug or controlled substance, you may face the same penalties as driving under the influence of alcohol.
A person can be arrested for DUI up to three hours after they were involved in a motor vehicle crash. As long as law enforcement has probable cause to make an arrest, the arrest can take place anywhere without a warrant.
In Virginia, drivers do not have the option of requesting a blood test instead of a breath test. Breath test refusal will result in an a one year driver's license suspension if convicted, and if you were convicted of DUI in addition to a breath test refusal, then you will not be eligible for a restricted license during the breath test refusal suspension period.
A first time DUI conviction incurs a minimum $250 fine and a driver's license revocation for one year. Naturally, second and subsequent offenses incur greater fines and longer driver's license suspension periods; for example, on a second DUI offense, the fine is a minimum $500.00 and the driver's revocation period is for three years. It also carries a possible jail time of up to one year.
