California has two basic fundamental driving laws,
found in Vehicle Code sections 23152(a) and 23152(b):
23152(a) states that “It is a misdemeanor to
drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs;”
and 23152(b) states that “It is a misdemeanor
to drive with .08% or more of alcohol in your blood.”
Under California law, California Vehicle Code Sections
23152 and 23153, the following regulations apply:
- It is a crime for anyone with a blood alcohol
level of .08 percent or higher to operate a motor
vehicle on a public roadway.
- If you are under the age of 21, it is a crime
to operate a motor vehicle on a public roadway with
a blood alcohol level of over .01. This means that
even one drink may put you over the legal limit.
- It is a crime to drink any alcoholic beverage
in a motor vehicle upon a public roadway.
- It is a crime to have an opened container holding
any amount of alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle
on a roadway unless the container is kept out of
the immediate control of the occupants.
- Anyone arrested for driving under the influence
must submit to a chemical test (blood, breath, or
urine) to determine the alcohol content of the blood.
Failure to complete or refusal to take the test
will result in suspension of the driver's license
for one year.
