Drinking and Driving
<p>In the state of California, what is the limit of alcohol allowed in bloodstream to be prosecuted under drinking and driving case?</p>

<p>And what are the procedures used for intoxication testing (other than breathalyzer) while being pulled over?</p>

<p>According to the California Vehicle Code, the thresholds for driving under the influence are:</p>

<ul>
<li>0.04% BAC if <a href="http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&amp;sectionNum=23152.">driving a commercial vehicle</a></li>
<li>0.01% BAC if <a href="http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&amp;sectionNum=23154.">under a DUI probation</a></li>
<li>0.01% BAC if <a href="http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&amp;sectionNum=23136.">the driver is under the age of 21</a></li>
<li>0.08% BAC if <a href="http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&amp;sectionNum=23152.">none of the above cases apply</a></li>
</ul>

<p>California law permits the blood-alcohol content to be determined through <a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&amp;urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffdl35">a breath test, a blood test, or in limited circumstances, urinalysis</a>.</p>
