Greeley DWAI: Driving While Ability Impaired Attorney
In Greeley, Evans and Johnstown, it does not take much to be charged with Driving While Ability Impaired – C.R.S. 42-4-1301. It is considered to be a lesser charge than DUI because it takes a lesser amount of alcohol in your blood (BAC) to support this charge.
- DUI- .08 or higher BAC
- DWAI- .05 to .079 BAC
What is the Definition of DWAI?
Although there is a presumption of DWAI when your blood alcohol is less than .08, the definition for Driving while Ability Impaired is extremely vague. Colorado law defines DWAI as:
The inclusion of “to the slightest degree” leaves much up to a jury’s interpretation in Weld, Morgan, and Logan County. Greeley Police will claim that speeding or an accident was the result of alcohol. However, at the O’Malley Law Office we know that drivers who have had no alcohol speed and are involved in car collisions. In fact, most motor vehicle accidents and speeding incidents have no alcohol involvement at all, a point our attorneys argue in your favor.
