What are Utah's BAC Limits?

September 11, 2013

How drunk does someone have to be before they can be charged with a DUI?

South Jordan DUI Defense Attorney In Utah, it is illegal to operate a vehicle while “impaired” by the effects of alcohol or drugs. Under Utah’s “Implied Consent” law, you automatically give your consent to take a breathalyzer test if an officer suspects you of driving while under the influence (DUI).

Utah’s DUI Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Limits

  • The BAC limit for any driver in Utah is 0.08%
  • The BAC limit for commercial vehicle operators to drive is 0.04%
  • The BAC limit for minors, under the age of 21, is 0.00%. Utah has zero tolerance for underage DUI drivers.
