Atlanta DUI of Drugs Attorney
DUI Defense Lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia
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 of drugs charges in particular, as the procedure and strategies to use during the DUI court process and at the ALS hearing will be different. The DUI defense strategy 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.
Drugs & DUI in Atlanta
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, however, he/she may be charged with DUI regardless of whether his/her ability to drive safely is 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 driving with any amount of marijuana or controlled substance in his/her blood or urine, he/she may be charged with DUI. If a driver is legally entitled to use the drug found in his/her system, this is only a valid defense so long as the driver was still able to drive safely.
