Celebrating the 4th? Know Your DUI Rights in Georgia
The 4th of July is one of the biggest DUI arrest weekends of the year — and Georgia police will be out in full force.
What counts as a DUI in Georgia?
A blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher for adults. For drivers under 21, the limit drops to just 0.02%.
What happens if you’re charged?
Your license can be suspended immediately
You may face fines, jail time, or both
A conviction stays on your record
If you’re pulled over:
Be polite and show your license, registration, and insurance
You have the right to remain silent beyond identifying yourself
You can refuse field sobriety tests
Refusing a breathalyzer may cost you your license
