A 35-year-old woman drives her own car and takes a breath test within two hours of driving. The result is exactly 0.08. She says that she felt fine and made no driving errors. What does Minnesota law say?
Correct answer: It is DWI, because 0.08 or more is a crime even when the driving looks normal.
Why
Alcohol slows your reactions, weakens your judgment and makes you think that you are less impaired than you are, so a driver at 0.08 often feels fine. Only time lowers your alcohol concentration; coffee, exercise and cold showers do not. The DWI law also covers a person in control of a parked vehicle, and it applies to off-road recreational vehicles and motorboats. The safest plan is simple: if you drink, do not drive.
