Drunk driving in America has been one of the major causes of road accidents. To minimize such tendency, the government is strict in implementing the law against driving under the influence (DUI). Violation to such law subjects the driver to penalties or imprisonment. DUI is determined if the person is proved to be drunk while driving. This is indicated by the established blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level. All states in the U.S. employ the .08 BAC minimum level. This means that if a person has .08 BAC, he is violating the law on drunk driving. But how does law enforcer figure out the BAC level of a person?
Breath Alcohol Testing Device
When a driver is suspected of drunk driving, he undergoes certain alcohol testing. Most alcohol testing is conducted by law enforcers through the use of devices. Naturally, an alcohol level can be tested by urine samples or blood samples. However, it is not practical to conduct the laboratory test when a driver is stopped by the enforcer on the road.

Alcohol consumption can lead to dire consequences, not just from a legal perspective but also in the physical effects it causes. If a police officer suspects DUI then an Alcohol Testing is mandatory.

As you are unable to focus on specific objects, you are also unable to judge the speed of approaching vehicles.
