What is the consequence of having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or above?

  1. You can be arrested for DUI

  2. You are automatically fined

  3. You may only receive a warning

  4. You must attend a driving course

The correct answer is: You can be arrested for DUI

Having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or above establishes legal grounds for being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in many jurisdictions, including Arizona. This threshold is recognized as the point at which an individual's ability to operate a vehicle safely is significantly impaired. Law enforcement officials have the authority to conduct sobriety checks and make arrests if drivers are found to have a BAC at or above this level. Other outcomes related to a high BAC, such as fines or mandatory driving courses, may occur as part of the legal process following the arrest. However, it is the act of being arrested for DUI that is a direct consequence of reaching that level of intoxication while operating a vehicle, making it the most immediate and relevant consequence in this context.
