In order to insure that my clients receive the most aggressive defense to their DUI case, I recently attended a DUI seminar put on by the National College for DUI Defense in association with the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. This seminar focused on all aspects of DUI defense, the latest case law regarding DUI arrests, and DUI blood cases. Knowing the latest information and problems associated with blood collection, analysis, and problems with the forensic lab conducting the analysis is especially important in DUI with Serious Bodily Injury or DUI Manslaughter cases in Florida.

One of the most interesting parts of the seminar was a mock trial that was conducted from an actual case. The jury deliberations were monitored by audio and video so that I could see exactly how a jury comes to their decision in a DUI case. The insight gained from this part of the seminar was invaluable to a DUI. defense lawyer.

In addition to the mock trial, nationally and internationally known experts spoke on all phases of a DUI case. Even A.W. Jones the leading researcher and expert in alcohol and its effects on the human body spoke at the DUI conference.

Lower the legal limit in DUI cases from 0.08 in Florida? National Transportation Safety Board proposes lowering legal breath test limit for DUI cases.

Last week, the NTSB proposed lowering the legal limit for Driving Under the Influence cases from 0.08 to 0.05. In Florida, the legal limit is 0.08. Also in Florida, a driver with a breath alcohol under 0.05 is presumed to not be impaired. The NTSB feels that lowering the limit would help cut down on traffic accidents. Studies of alcohol related accidents does not support this theory as most individuals involved in alcohol-related crashed have a legal limit of around 0.13 to 0.15, so lowering the level would not be a deterrent. I was recently hit by a driver who ran a red light at 50 mph. He did not even hit his brakes. The police came to the scene and had the other driver perform the Field Sobriety Exercises, but did not arrest him. Do I think lowering the legal limit would have prevented the accident? No.

The legal limit has been lowered over the years. Initially, the DUI breath test limit was 0.15 in 1941. It was later reduced to 0.12, then 0.10, and now the 0.08 that is the law in Florida DUI cases. The 0.05 limit is used in Europe which is a much less car-centric society. As a DUI defense attorney, I rarely see cases where the driver has a breath test under 0.08. A person must be arrested for DUI before a breath test can be requested. The police do no “unarrest’ you if you blow under the legal limit and these DUI cases are still prosecuted in court. They are difficult DUI cases to prove obviously and many times are dismissed or reduced to lesser charges. Therefore, it is clear that this law would only affect social drinkers who are not a problem or hazard on the road. That’s why a driver is presumed to not be impaired by alcohol when they have such a low blood alcohol level.

DUI is a very serious crime and can have devastating outcomes when a person drives impaired and there is an accident. DUI Manslaughter or DUI causing Serious Bodily Injury can result in substantial prison terms. I do not think lowering the limit will dramatically cut down on alcohol impaired deaths. Even safety groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving and AAA declined to endorse the NTSB’s call for a 0.05 threshold.

If you have been arrested for DUI, call and speak to an aggressive Polk County DUI defense attorney. Always make sure that the DUI lawyer you retain is actually located in Polk county and will go to court with you and not send an associate. Get someone working on your DUI case now because it can make a difference in the outcome of your criminal case!
