subject to DUI and speeding
My daughter was stopped for speeding. She was asked if she had been drinking. She said no. It was 3 AM, she had one beer earlier. Policed asked her to blow into a device and she did not want to. She admited to one beer. She said she wanted a blood test. They put her in jail for 12 hours. She found out her blood alcohol level was .07% and the DVM issued her a new license, but she still has a court date scheduled for : complaint was filed for 23152 (a) and (b); driving under the influence of alcohol and blood alcohol .08% of above and not speeding.
Should she need a lawyer?
Thank you

Re: subject to DUI and speeding
Your daughter needs an attorney. She can be convicted of driving under the influence with a blood alcohol lower than .08%. If the alcohol has reduced her ability to drive safely she is driving under the influence.
