Explanation
A chemical test is used to measure a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) or detect the presence of drugs. These tests can be performed using a sample of the driver’s breath, blood, or urine. If the test shows a BAC at or above the legal limit (typically 0.08% in most states), the driver can be charged with driving under the influence (DUI). Chemical test results are often used as evidence in court.
