Atlanta DUI & Drugs Attorney
Driving Under the Influence of Drugs
While the majority of DUI arrests involve alcohol, driving under the influence of drugs is a major concern and is cracked down upon by law enforcement throughout Georgia. The penalties for driving under the influence of drugs are the same as those for DUI involving alcohol, but the laws regarding drunk driving charges are slightly different. It is important to work with an
Atlanta DUI lawyer who is experienced in defending DUI drug charges in particular, as the procedures and strategies used during the
DUI court process and at the
ALS hearing will be different. The
DUI defense strategies that your lawyer must develop should also be applicable specifically to drugs and DUI charges in order to have the best chance of being effective.
Georgia DUI law states that an individual may not drive while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to the extent that it is “less than safe” for that individual to drive. If a driver has a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater, he/she may be charged with DUI regardless of whether or not his/her ability to drive safely was affected. Georgia law also states that it is illegal to drive under the influence of aerosol, glue or other toxic vapors which impair his/her ability to drive safely.

If a driver is found operating a vehicle with any amount of marijuana or controlled substance in his/her blood or urine, he/she may be charged with DUI.
