Breath and blood tests are frequently administered by a police officer who has stopped an individual suspected of DUI. These are two means of determining your blood alcohol content (BAC), which cannot be higher than .08% when operating a vehicle. If you failed a breath or blood test and were charged with a DUI, get in touch with our Prince George's County DUI lawyer right away!
