This site is dedicated to provide you with information and facts associated with driving under the influence. Unfortunately at some point many people end up doing it. Don't think it cannot happen to you especially in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, or Macon.

What exactly is the definition of Driving Under the Influence?

Think about driving an automobile home from work during rush hour in Atlanta, or trying to find your way to a lawyer office in Savannah, or driving with noisy kids in Augusta. Reflect on how you feel when you are completely sober when you notice a Georgia police officer driving beside you--you make sure your seatbelt is buckled, use your turn signal every time, and focus on maintaining the exact speed limit. This is easy driving when you are completely aware and your cognitive ability is not impaired.

Now imagine driving home after 4-5 beers. You try to focus on doing all of those simple easy things, but most of the time it is nighttime and police officers are looking for the simplest little reason to pull someone over. Maybe you think you are okay to drive and then you graze the yellow line on a corner giving that police officer the right to pull you over. An Atlanta DUI can be a costly mistake and not just financially. Most state BAC laws used to be .10 but every state has lowered it to .08.

A DUI or DWI doesn't just apply to driving under the influence of alcohol. You can also be charged with a DUI or DWI from the use of illegal and even legal drugs, such as cocaine and marijuana, or prescription drugs such as codeine or sleeping pills. Why take the chance?

You can get charged with DWI or DUI for operating a boat, a golf cart, riding a bicycle, driving a scooter, or even riding a horse in some places!

Even if your'e not impaired while you are driving, you could still become a victim of someone who chose to drink and drive. If you are with friends or family who have been drinking, don't let them drive, take their keys, save a life.
