Understanding Arizona DUI Laws

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Limits

Arizona has strict BAC limits, and the legal limit for most drivers is 0.08%. However, for commercial drivers and individuals under the age of 21, lower BAC limits apply.

Aggravating Factors

Certain factors can aggravate DUI charges, leading to enhanced penalties. These may include high BAC levels, multiple DUI offenses, or the presence of minors in the vehicle.

Drunk driving is known by a variety of names such as:

  • driving under the influence (DUI)
  • driving while impaired (DWI)
  • operating under the influence (OUI)
  • operating while impaired (OWI)
  • driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII)
  • driving while under the influence (DWUI)

The mere fact that driving intoxicated or under the influence may be called by different phrases, the consequences of such a conviction can be devastating.  So no matter what you call it, one should seriously consider hiring a competent, experienced lawyer to represent them.
