==================================================
An Austin DWI Attorney is what you will need when you are in trouble with Texas DWI.
Each year, states enact stronger DUI laws and more severe drunk driving penalties. Drunk driving is the act of operating and/or driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to the degree that mental and motor skill is impaired. It is illegal in all jurisdictions within the U.S.
The legal presumption of intoxication from blood alcohol concentration was reduced to 0.10; more recently, and with federal pressure, all states get further reduced the limit to 0.08%. Early laws simply prohibited driving while intoxicated, with no varied definition of what level of inebriation qualified The first generally-accepted legal limit for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.15 (in 1938, the American Medical Association created a "Committee to Study Problems of Motor Vehicle Accidents"; at the same time, the National Safety Council get a "Committee on Tests for Intoxication".
All states in the U.S. designate a "per se" blood or breathe alcohol level as the threshold point for an independent criminal offense. Many jurisdictions use more serious penalties (such as jail time, larger fines, longer DUI program, and the installation of ignition interlock devices) in cases where the driver's BAC is over 0.20, or 0.15 in some places. In instances like an Austin DWI it would be wise to have an Austin DWI Attorney to defend your rights and make easier on you.
