In the state of Georgia, less safe DUI laws dictate that you do not have to have a blood alcohol content over the legal limit of 0.08% to be charged with a DUI. If your driving is impaired in any way and the results of a chemical breath or blood test show that you have any alcohol in your system, you can be charged with a less safe DUI. For example, if you are stopped for driving recklessly and the law enforcement officer suspects that you may have been drinking, he or she may request that you submit to a breathalyzer test. If the results of the test show that your blood alcohol content, or BAC, level is above 0.00%, the officer may charge you with a less safe DUI. Although your BAC level was below the legal limit, your actions behind the wheel indicated that you were affected by the alcohol in your system and were technically impaired while driving; thus the officer has grounds to make an arrest. In court, a less safe DUI requires the prosecution to present evidence of impaired driving, rather than simply the test result of 0.08% or higher required for a per se DUI. A less safe DUI conviction carries with it hefty fines and the potential for a suspended license and even jail time.
