Attorney for DUIs Involving Drugs
Most often, we think of DUI charges as involving alcohol, but this is not always the case. There are many types of prescription medications that can cause impairment in an individual, and this can lead to arrest and charges of impaired driving. One serious element of these cases is that BAC (blood alcohol content) is irrelevant in these situations, and therefore, you could be convicted of impaired driving based on the testimony of a police officer and some other evidence. When facing drug DUI charges, you need to ensure that you have representation on your side that will fight alongside you and work towards the results that you need.

Drugs & DUI
According to South Carolina CL §56.5.2930, it is unlawful to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of any drug or combination of drugs that can cause impairment. Sadly, this means that you could be prescribed a medication by your physician in order to treat a condition or illness, and you could be pulled over on your way to work, and arrested for impaired driving. This is a serious issue that can easily occur when you had no intention of causing harm to another, and it could even be a simple offense due to a lack of information.
If you are convicted of this offense, you are subject to a fine of $400 and imprisonment of 48 hours to 30 days, according to CL § 56.5.2940. You may be able to serve several hours of community service in lieu of your minimum jail sentence. When police officers are looking to see if you are driving under the influence of drugs, they may look for many of the same signs as alcohol impairment. These can include difficulty focusing, slurred speech, droopy eyes, lack of coordination, swerving, and reckless driving, among other symptoms. It is crucial that you have representation on your side to help you fight the charges against you and pursue the future you desire.
