    Default Impaired Driving With a Low BAC

    Tell that to my dumb friend who admitted to having ONE glass of wine. She was convicted at .02 and exhibited ZERO impairment, other than what the officer allegedly observed with her driving - supposedly clipping the edge of a painted double yellow on a left turn. Sorry, but to say the chances of conviction are "negligible" is off the mark here.
    That indeed is sad. Not gonna happen if you have a lawyer worth anything.

    We get convictions for DUI under .08 all the time ... keep in mind that a drug DUI without alcohol is ALWAYS one where the BAC is ZERO. It is a matter of what impairment the state can show.
    Cdjava, you routinely state that challenging a traffic in ticket in a court trial all but disqualifies you from the right to attend traffic school if you lose, something I have witnessed many times not to be the case. I hope you are as right on this one. In any case, it is a very sad statement about the American justice system if you are right. But, knowing the stakes, I did imply OP should hire a lawyer if charged.
