DUI Law In Georgia

Georgia law enforcement aggressively pursues DUI arrests. Even if your blood alcohol level is not over the legal limit of .08, a police officer may still arrest you if he or she decides you are “under the influence” of drugs or alcohol.

A clean record will likely reduce the potential penalties for a DUI. Still, after a first conviction the court can sentence you to up to one year in jail, fine you up to $1,000 and take away your driver’s license for a year. You could also be required to take a DUI education course. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, there could be certain factors that increase the penalties you will face.
