CAN YOU STILL GET A DUI UNDER THE LEGAL LIMIT?🚔

St Petersburg Criminal Defense Attorney Sean K. McQuaid explains if you can get a DUI even if you were under the legal limit.

Hey Sean, can I get a DUI even if I was under the legal limit? Actually, yes. And it's pretty common. If you think about it, it's because people might have controlled substances, marijuana, prescription medication in their system. So a lot of those people are going to be under the legal limit. And even if there was nothing else in your system, the legal limit only talks about presumptions. You could have one beer, and if you're a lightweight, still be impaired. So it's really just a benchmark. What really matters is how you look on the field sobriety tests and ultimately what that blow is.
