The dangers that driving under the influence (DUI) can pose to yourself and other road users cannot be understated.

To ensure you do not harm yourself or others on the road it’s important to always drive sober and follow traffic rules.

In this story, we will outline some practical tips that can help you maintain sobriety and avoid a DUI charge.

Plan Ahead

If you plan to drive, avoid alcohol and drugs, or arrange for a designated driver to get you home safely.

Know Your Limits

If you do plan to drink, make sure to stay within the legal limits prescribed by your state. This is typically limited to a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08%  with a BAC above this level deemed as intoxicated in every state.

Eat Food

Eating before or while drinking slows alcohol absorption, reducing your BAC compared to drinking on an empty stomach.

Be Vigilant the Next Morning

You may think that driving the morning after you drink is a safe bet, but your BAC can still be above the legal limit.

By following these tips, you can avoid a DUI charge, while remaining safe and responsible on the roads.
