Thanks again for suggesting I not accept the state's offer to plead guilty."~~R.F. "I selected Jack Hyatt because of his experience, knowledge and reputation.

JACK I. HYATT
DUI Attorney
Attorney Credentials: Former Assistant State's Attorney Admitted To Practice Before: The U.S. Supreme Court All Maryland Courts Federal District Court Member: Maryland State Bar Association Baltimore City Bar Association Baltimore County Bar Association University of Baltimore A.A. B.S. J.D. Honorable Discharge U.S. Army What is the “legal limit” in Maryland? "Blood Alcohol Concentration" or BAC is defined as:
If a driver’s BAC is .08 or more the driver is per se under the influence. However, if a driver’s BAC is .07 or above, it is presumed that the driver was impaired. If the test result is over .05 but less than .07, the test evidence is considered neutral. If the test result is .05 or less, the driver is presumed not to be under the influence of alcohol. If a driver refuses the chemical test, or if the test doesn’t come into evidence for some other reason, the State must prove through other observational or testimonial evidence that the driver was operating a motor vehicle while his normal coordination was substantially impaired to prove DUI (driving under the influence), or somewhat impaired to prove DWI (driving while impaired).
Why did I receive more than one ticket charging me with DUI? Maryland has a two tier drunk driving statute, DUI and DWI. Driving under the influence means that the driver was operating a motor vehicle while his normal coordination was substantially impaired. Driving while impaired is a lesser offense and means that the driver was operating a motor vehicle while his normal coordination was somewhat impaired. In addition, Maryland has a DUI per se offense, meaning that the driver was operating a motor vehicle with a BAC over .08. If the accused submits to a breath test, and the reading is above .08, the officer will often charge the defendant with all three offenses. The pre-printed citations the officer carries to write tickets for these offenses after October 1, 2001 require the officer to write separate tickets for each offense. It is possible to be found guilty of all three charges, but generally the lesser offenses merge into the greater offense for sentencing purposes and points will only be assessed for the greatest offense. It is also possible to be found guilty of only one or two of the charges.
