Defenses against DUI Charges

Tests used to determine the alcohol level in a driver are not particularly reliable. Administration of the tests occurs in an uncontrolled environment on the side of a road next to the pulled over car. Many of the tests are at night when it is dark outside and visibility is limited. A nervous driver may be mistaken for a drunken driver and unable to pass all steps of a sobriety test. In the case of a traffic collision, people may automatically jump to the conclusion that it was due to a drunken driver when other factors may have been the cause of an accident. Defense has the right to challenge evidence presented by prosecution in a DUI charge and can include the following:

• Sobriety and blood alcohol test accuracy
• Arrest procedures
• Witness statements

A DUI conviction can mean jail time, fines, probation, driver's license suspension, community service, alcohol classes and other penalties the judge issues at sentencing.
