Understanding Georgia’s DUI Laws
​
• Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Limits: In Georgia, a driver can be charged with DUI if their BAC is 0.08% or higher (0.04% for commercial drivers, and 0.02% for drivers under 21).
​
• Possible Penalties: First-time DUI convictions can result in fines, probation, community service, and a potential license suspension. Multiple offenses lead to increased punishments, including mandatory jail time.
​
• Field Sobriety & Chemical Tests: Law enforcement may conduct roadside field sobriety tests or request breathalyzer/blood tests. Refusing these tests can trigger additional penalties under Georgia’s implied consent laws.
