FAQs

What are the legal limits for blood alcohol concentration (Bac) in Huber Heights?

The legal limit for blood alcohol (BAC) levels in Huber Heights, OH, are:

  • Adult drivers 21 and over: Standard adult drivers must maintain a BAC below .08%. Over .08% can result in an OVI charge;
  • Underage drivers under 21: Ohio law has zero tolerance for underage drinkers. No detectable amount of alcohol is permissible in the blood of underage drivers;
  • Commercial drivers: Commercial drivers must abide by a stricter BAC legal limit of below .04% BAC. Any level at or above .04% can lead to a DUI charge;
  • High BAC: A high BAC is a BAC at or above .17%. The consequences of a high BAC include enhanced penalties.

Regardless of your charge, you must reach out to an experienced criminal defense lawyer promptly for the best defense against your charges. Delaying contacting an attorney can lead to negative case outcomes.

Will I lose my driver’s license if I’m charged with a DUI in Huber Heights?

It’s quite possible that you will lose your license to suspension or revocation if charged with an OVI. To fight to keep your license, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to represent you.

Can I refuse a breathalyzer or sobriety test in Huber Heights?

You can refuse a breathalyzer test. However, all drivers on Ohio roads have already given implied consent to submit to a chemical test, including a breathalyzer. Hence, refusing to submit to the test violates your implied consent and may result in an automatic driver’s license suspension.

Beyond that, there may be further consequences, depending on the specifics of your circumstances.
