UBER + LYFT Drivers Will Be Subjected to Stricter Driving Standards in DUI Cases. California UBER + LYFT DUI.



Happy New Year! I wish that your 2018 is the best and brightest yet! As for new laws this year, Uber and LYFT drivers will be subjected to a lower BAC level than a normal driver when calculating if a driver is in violation of California's DMV DUI laws. What this means is if you ever drive for UBER or LYFT and are stopped, ticketed or suffer an accident and it is determined by an officer that while driving for these companies your BAC was .04 or higher NOT .08, you will have your driver's license confiscated by the officer and the DMV will suspend your driver's license. This regulation will take effect this summer.

This is an exciting tactic for us defense attorneys to have in our arsenal! When blood evidence is taken at a DUI crime scene there are many ways that the test results can become compromised. When the blood evidence is compromised that evidence cannot be used in the case, and the prosecutions case becomes too thin. Success in DUI case dismissals can be gained from attacking blood evidence in court!
