DUI (driving under the influence) is defined as operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When a person is charged with DUI in California, he or she will usually face two separate charges: driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or above.

If you refuse a blood test or breath test in Orange County, you will face penalties in addition to any DUI penalties you face. First and foremost, your driver’s license will be suspended – regardless of whether you are found guilty of driving under the influence. This is covered under California’s Implied Consent law. On your driver’s license application, when you sign at the bottom, you are agreeing to consent to chemical testing to determine your blood alcohol concentration if you are suspected of DUI.
California is also a “zero tolerance” state, meaning that any driver under the age of 21 may not drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .01% or higher. Really any amount of alcohol in an underage driver will result in an under 21 DUI charge.
