DUI and DWI law in Connecticut addresses the criminal offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Connecticut law makes it illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher for most drivers, with lower limits for commercial drivers and individuals under the legal drinking age. A driver may also face charges if alcohol, prescription medications, illegal drugs, or other substances impair their ability to safely operate a vehicle. Penalties for DUI in Connecticut can include fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs, ignition interlock device requirements, and possible jail time, particularly for repeat offenses or cases involving accidents or injuries. Because DUI and DWI charges can carry significant legal and personal consequences, experienced Connecticut DUI defense attorneys can help evaluate the evidence, protect your rights, and guide you through the legal process.
