Maryland Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers
In Maryland, there are generally two separate drunk driving charges. The more serious charge is driving under the influence (DUI). Individuals can also be charged with driving while impaired (DWI). The charge often depends on the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time. In Maryland, a BAC of .08 or above is considered driving under the influence per se. A BAC of .07 is considered driving while impaired per se. With either charge, serious consequences can ensue.
In Maryland, in addition to facing criminal charges in Court drivers with a BAC of .08 or above, and also in other circumstances, will have their driver licenses suspended by the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA).
