or DUI as popularly called deals with the drunk driving
matters. Alcohol works as a depressant, which impairs
a driver's judgment, vision and reaction. A 12 oz. can
of beer, a 5 oz. glass of wine and a 1 ½ oz.
shot of liquor all have about the same amount of alcohol.
Most of the Wisconsin DUI cases are a result of deadly
mix of alcohol and driving. Once you are charged in
Wisconsin DUI case you may face arrest, which can result
in court costs, legal fees, higher automobile insurance,
fines, loss of license and even imprisonment. Including
Wisconsin DUI law forty-nine states have established
per se laws (Massachusetts is the exception). That is,
it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle if a driver has
a Blood/Breath Alcohol Concentration BAC level of .08
or .10, depending on the state.
During
the last ten years public outcry against drunk driving
has resulted in severe punishments and stringent laws
for Wisconsin DUI, that is not only driving but also
operating under influence OUI and OWI, operating while
intoxicated made the definitions much wider to catch
the defaulters of Wisconsin DUI. In Wisconsin DUI can
be checked by an officer by performing "field sobriety
tests" such as reciting the alphabet from A to
Z, closing your eyes and bringing both index fingers
together, picking up a coin dropped on the ground etc.
In addition to these tests, for checking Wisconsin DUI
some officers carry certain field sobriety testing devices,
which they use. One such device is a breath meter, which
you blow into.
