1. Glen Neeley: Even though the statute says that you are guilty of a DUI if you have sufficient alchol in your body that a chemical test given within two hours of the alleged operation or physical control shows that you have a blood or breath alcohol concentration of .08 grams or greater, there is no presumption that your blood alcohol level was .08 or higher at the time of driving just because it was taken within two hours. In other words, your breath test result can always be challenged and the validity of the test can be challenged.
