DUI Blood Tests
There are three main ways to test the approximate blood alcohol content (BAC) of an individual. These tests may be performed on those who are believed to be driving or operating some other vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Breath tests, urine tests, and blood tests may all give close to accurate readings under ideal circumstances. Blood tests are considered to be the most accurate and therefore the most trusted by the courts. However, there are exceptions to the accuracy of these tests.
If you have been accused of a DUI, it is important to immediately speak to an attorney about your legal rights. DUI offenses are taken seriously by the courts and there is a high risk of a severe sentence. Luckily, you do not have to go through this ordeal alone.
