What Constitutes A Care and Control Over 80 mg DUI Charge in Los Angeles, CA

In order to constitute a DUI offense as well as for you to be convicted of a DUI, you do not have to actually be driving a vehicle when you’re impaired by alcohol or drugs. Whether the engine of the vehicle is running or not, if you are able to set the vehicle in motion, it is enough to put you in a situation when you can be convicted of a DUI. The reason for this is that you have the ability to be in care and control of the vehicle and, csonequently, it will be presumed that you did so while your ability was impaired.

How to Avoid a Los Angeles Care and Control Charge Legally?

If you have been found drunk while sitting in the drivers seat of a vehicle, you will be attracting far more charges than when you are sitting in any other position of the vehicle. After investigation, the police will conclude that you were in impaired care and control of a moving vehicle and will argue the case based on the fact that you were fully capable of setting the vehicle in motion, unless there is evidence to show otherwise. The burden will then be upon you to refute this and convince the court that you had no intention or capability to set the vehicle in motion. In such a case, it is always advisable to stay out of the vehicle or hire a sober driver. By doing so you will be sure to avoid a care and control charge.

Los Angeles Laws Regarding Care and Control Over 80mg and Impaired Care and Control Charges

As per Section 23152(e) and Section 23152(f) of the California Vehicle Code, you are said to be committing a DUI offense and being in care and control of a motor vehicle while you are driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or driving while being influenced by a combination of both. Impaired care and control does not necessarily mean driving a vehicle. In fact, a police officer can prosecute you if he has concrete reasons to form an opinion that your ability is impaired due to the influence of alcohol or any other drug irrespective of whether you were sitting on the driver’s seat or the other seats, even if the vehicle is not in motion.

Section 23152(b) of the California Vehicle Code explains and defines Over 80 as an extreme offense. As per this section, it is an offense to operate or be in care and control of a motor vehicle with over 80 mg of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood. Getting charged with care and control over 80 mg means, that you were in care and control of a motor vehicle and your blood alcohol concentration being more than 0.08 which is a criminal offense and has very serious consequences.
