DUI vs. DUAC
One of the important distinctions that must be made when you are pulled over for driving under the influence is whether you qualify for a DUI or DUAC.
A DUI, Driving Under the Influence, occurs when you are operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of more than .08% and you are appreciably impaired. A DUAC is when you are Driving with an Unlawful Alcohol Concentration. DUAC convictions can happen without evidence of impairment.
South Carolina has a zero-tolerance policy for anyone under the age of 21 who is pulled over for operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .02% or higher. Under the zero-tolerance policy, the driver’s license will be automatically suspended for three to six months depending on prior alcohol-related convictions. When someone under 21 refuses to consent to test, the license suspension will be for six months automatically or up to one year for prior convictions.
Whether you are under or over 21, the best way to navigate a DUI arrest is by hiring a Charleston DUI lawyer to represent you in court and with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
PENALTIES FOR DUIs
The penalties for a DUI will vary depending on if it is your first offense or if you are a repeat offender. Most drivers convicted of DUI will also have to install an ignition interlock system in their vehicles once they are eligible to drive again whether after reinstatement or when approved for a provisional permit.
Misdemeanor Penalties:
- 30-day Sentence
- Fines
- Revoked Driver’s License
Felony Penalties:
- Permanent Revocation of Driver’s License
- Up to 7 Years In Jail
