Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a severe criminal offense in California. Prosecutors trying an offender must prove that he or she was impaired and operated a vehicle in that state. Drivers must have below .08% blood alcohol concentration when driving.

Commercial drivers and operators of school buses must have below that number. Those convicted of driving under the influence would face jail time, have their driver’s license revoked, pay a fine, and undergo an alcohol reeducation program.
