What is the BAC (blood alcohol content) limit in California?

The standard BAC limit in CA is 0.08%, the underage BAC limit is 0.02% and the aggravated BAC limit is 0.16%. If you are pulled over for DUI, it is required that you give implied consent before performing a BAC test.

Your Case is Not Hopeless

Police officers can make mistakes, breathalyzers can malfunction, blood samples can be contaminated, and medical conditions can create false BAC readings. There are countless issues that could invalidate your arrest. Our Chico DUI attorney can advocate on your behalf through a detailed investigation and application of California law.
