West Virginia DUI Record Search
In West Virginia, it is illegal for a person to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI). Whether or not a driver gets charged with a DUI is based primarily on their blood alcohol content (BAC). .08 is the legal BAC limit, so a driver who tests above that will automatically get charged with a DUI. If their BAC is below .08, but there is evidence that they cannot operate the vehicle safely, they will still get a DUI. Another way to get a DUI in West Virginia is to refuse the BAC test when pulled over. If a drivers BAC is .15 or above, then they will be charged with an aggravated DUI, and the penalties will be increased. The state also has a zero tolerance policy and a BAC limit of .02 for drivers under the age of 21.
