DUI in Bergen County New Jersey , NJ
The law treats DUI very severely and imposes harsh penalties for individuals who drive under the influence. When the substance is alcohol, an individuals is considered intoxicated if they operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (“BAC”) of 0.08% or higher. BAC is typically established via a breath test result taken on the Drager Alcotest 7110 Evidential. If you refuse to provide a breath sample, that results in an entirely separate and additional offense that carries significant consequences. Similar ramifications apply when the violation concerns drugs such as operating a vehicle after smoking marijuana. For a first offense, you are subject to a license suspension of 3 months for a BAC of .08% but less than .10%, and 7-12 months where the reading is .10% or above or the case involves drugs. Your license is suspended for 2 years for a second offense and 10 years for a third offense. Other penalties include thousands of dollars in monetary obligations and even jail. Given how severe the ramifications of a conviction can be, it is extremely important that you hire an attorney that has the skills to avert a guilty finding.
