According to California's DUI Law Section 23152:
(a)It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.
(b)It is unlawful for any person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle.
For purposes of this article and Section 34501.16, percent, by weight, of alcohol in a person's blood is based upon grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
In any prosecution under this subdivision, it is a rebuttable presumption that the person had 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood at the time of driving the vehicle if the person had 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood at the time of the performance of a chemical test within three hours after the driving.
Finding and retaining a Los Angeles DUI Attorney can be a difficult and confusing process, L.A. DUI defense is a very technical field, and interpretation of Los Angeles DUI law can be very tricky. For example: it is very likely to be charged with breaking both (a) and (b) laws above, which means it's even more important to find an Attorney.
