Pennsylvania DUI Law
Under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code, Title 75, a person whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level is .08% or higher is considered to be driving under the influence. The punishment for a DUI conviction varies based upon how high a personŐs BAC level is and whether it is a first, second, third or fourth offense or conviction. In addition, if a person arrested for DUI has any measurable amount of specified drugs in his or her system, the person will be punished as if they were at the highest alcohol levels.
Minors, commercial drivers, school vehicle or bus drivers, and others offenders involved in an accident that injures someone or causes property damage may be subject to the high BAC penalties even if their BAC is not in the high category. Offenders who refuse breath or chemical testing may also be subject to the highest BAC penalties. The law also allows for treatment at all levels, and requires alcohol highway safety school for all first and second time offenders.
