Explanation
California law allows drivers age 21 and older to operate a vehicle if their Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is below 0.08%. However, alcohol can impair your judgment, coordination, and reaction time even at lower levels. Law enforcement can arrest you for DUI if you show signs of impairment-even if your BAC is below 0.08%. This limit applies only to non-commercial drivers age 21 or older; stricter limits apply to commercial drivers and drivers under 21.
