LEGAL TIPS

Alabama DUI Law :
Unfortunately, a quirk in Alabama law - apparently unintended - now means that some drunk drivers serving time in prison on felony convictions could have those convictions reduced to misdemeanors and be released on time served.

DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
DUI Blood Alcohol Content :
BAC is most conveniently measured as a simple percent of alcohol in the blood by weight. It does not depend on any units of measurement. In Europe it is usually expressed as milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. However, 100 milliliters of blood weighs essentially the same as 100 milliliters of water, which weighs precisely 100 grams. Thus, for all practical purposes, this is the same as the simple dimensionless BAC measured as a percent. Since 2002 it has been illegal in all 50 US states to drive with a BAC that is 0.08% or higher.

If Convicted of DUI :
Jonathan, 20, of Birmingham: First conviction, three years' formal probation, $2,323 fine, two days in jail, first-offender drinking-driver program, driver's license restricted.

DUI Driving Drunk :
But the law was changed and changed again - strengthened, in fact, to be less tolerant of multiple convictions. But a provision that stipulated four convictions in five years was inadvertently left in. The high court indicated that it had little choice. It could not consider seven convictions in 15 years as constituting four in five years.
