Read the first 6 OMV DUI and Impaired Driving Laws flashcards as text

  1. What does BAC stand for?

    Answer: Blood Alcohol Concentration

    BAC stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration, the percentage of alcohol in a person's bloodstream.

  2. An ignition interlock device (IID) is commonly required after a DUI conviction. What does it do?

    Answer: Requires a breath test before the engine will start

    An IID requires the driver to provide a breath sample with a BAC below a set threshold before the engine will start.

  3. How does alcohol primarily affect a driver's ability?

    Answer: Impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time

    Alcohol impairs judgment, slows reaction time, and reduces coordination even at BAC levels below the legal limit.

  4. What is the BAC limit for commercial vehicle drivers in the US?

    Answer: 0.04%

    Commercial vehicle drivers are held to a stricter BAC limit of 0.04% because of the greater risk large vehicles pose.

  5. Which factor affects how quickly alcohol enters the bloodstream?

    Answer: Whether food is in the stomach

    Food in the stomach slows the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, reducing the rate of BAC increase.

  6. A 'per se' DUI law means:

    Answer: Being at or above the legal BAC limit is itself sufficient for a DUI charge

    Per se DUI laws mean that meeting or exceeding the BAC limit is automatically a violation, regardless of whether impairment is observable.
