Understanding DUI/DWAI in Colorado
Colorado’s criminal justice and court systems can be difficult to understand and to navigate. The harsh reality of possible incarceration is in addition to other administrative and criminal penalties you could face, such as losing your driver’s license, fines, and probation. The Denver lawyers at Novo Legal can help you through the complicated process of defending yourself from a DUI charge.
- DUI: Typically involves driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher.
- DWAI: Involves driving with a BAC between 0.05% and 0.08%, indicating a lesser degree of impairment.
- Drug-Related Impairment: Includes impairment due to legal or illegal substances, including marijuana and prescription medications.
What are the Consequences of a DUI/DWAI Conviction?
- Legal Penalties: Can include fines, jail time, license suspension, and mandatory alcohol education programs.
- Long-Term Impact: Affects insurance rates, employment opportunities, and personal reputation.
BAC levels and potential consequences
If someone shows a BAC of .15% or higher, they may be classified a persistent drunk driver, and subject to greater penalties. Colorado law allows for up to a year of jail time for the 1st DUI offense, depending on the circumstances. If you happen to be facing charges with multiple DUIs in your history, it could be longer.
