Drunk Driving is Measured by Blood Alcohol Content in Texas and Throughout the U.S.
When drivers are stopped at checkpoints or for traffic violations in Texas, and a sobriety test is conducted the driver’s or Blood Alcohol Content/Concentration/Level, will uncover whether he or she is legally intoxicated.
All drivers are deemed legally intoxicated, according to the Texas Department of Transportation, when their blood alcohol content reaches:
- For non-commercial vehicle drivers: .08 (all drivers under 21 with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system are legally drunk)
- For commercial vehicle drivers: .04
Unfortunately, no one is immune to the consequences of sharing our roadways with intoxicated drivers including motorcyclists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other passenger vehicle drivers, who are all at risk when intoxicated drivers get behind the wheel.
