Can you be convicted of DUI if the results of a blood or urine test are positive for a controlled substance that you are not prescribed, even if the drug does not impair your ability to drive?
Whether to refuse the breath test in a DUI case and, if so, how to refuse is one of the most frequent topics that I am questioned about. This article addresses this important issue.
State of Georgia v. G.V. - Effingham County State Court (Springfield, Georgia)
Our client was charged with DUI, an open container violation, and failure to maintain lane in Effingham County, Georgia. This DUI charge was our client's second DUI charge within a year and would have resulted in a full license suspension for at least a year. Despite our client's breath test results, which were well in excess of 2 times the legal limit, we were able to negotiate for a dismissal of his DUI charge. Our client entered a guilty plea to reckless driving.
