DUI Laws Affecting Greenville Cases

North Carolina DUI law applies to all Greenville cases. Under G.S. 20-138.1, it is illegal to drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs in Greenville or anywhere in the state. A blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher is the legal limit for most drivers. Commercial drivers face a lower limit of 0.04. Drivers under 21 cannot have any alcohol in their system.

Sentencing for DUI in Greenville follows G.S. 20-179. The court uses a system of levels from one to five. Level five is the least severe. Level one carries the harshest penalties. Judges look at factors like blood alcohol level, prior DWI convictions, and whether the driver caused an accident. A first DUI in Greenville can mean jail time, fines, and a suspended license.

North Carolina also has an implied consent law under G.S. 20-16.2. This means that if you drive in Greenville, you have already agreed to take a chemical test if an officer has reason to believe you are impaired. Refusing this test leads to an automatic license suspension. The Pitt County Sheriff's Office and Greenville police both enforce these laws. Habitual DWI charges under G.S. 20-138.5 apply when a person has three or more prior DWI convictions within 10 years.
