Plymouth County OUI drunk driving lawyers have an abundance of knowledge regarding Massachusetts drunk driving laws. We know that the government does not have to prove that an individual with OUI charges is intoxicated. The government must prove three elements if they want to convict an individual with an OUI:
- The driver was responsible for operating a vehicle.
- The vehicle was operated on a public road.
- The driver of the vehicle was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
To prove someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the government needs to display that the impaired person is responsible for operating a vehicle at the time of the accident. Furthermore, they must secure a conviction that establishes the BAC levels above the legal limit during the accident. Numerous factors can determine that a person’s ability to operate a vehicle is impaired:
- The smell of alcohol
- Glassy eyes
- Bloodshot eyes
- Speech that is slurred
- Not being steady on their feet
- Observing infractions
- Field sobriety test failure
It is advisable to hire an attorney to fight OUI charges. Prosecutors take OUI charges seriously. They carry the potential of severe penalties, like jail time, probation, conditions to remain alcohol and drug-free, and also driver’s license suspensions.
