Virginia DUI Laws

You may be charged with DUI for operating a motor vehicle or watercraft in the state of Virginia with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher.

A driver may be charged with DUI with a lower blood alcohol content, as well, if the driver's ability to operate the vehicle is impaired or an officer determines that the driver is under the influence of drugs.

It should be noted that the BAC requirement is lower for specific drivers. For a commercial driver, the legal limit is 0.04% or higher, and 0.02% for underage drivers.
