DUI does not exist in NC any longer. That went away in the 80s when the legal limit dropped from .10 to .08. DWI is the charge used in NC now. If anyone wants to look it up, go to the North Carolina Attorney General's website and search NC General Statute 20.138.1. That is DWI. It will say "....while having alcohol concentration of .08 or more or being appreciably impaired." Someone can be charged and convicted at .03, however, the charging officer will need to be able to show impairment in court.
All families involved are in my family's thoughts and prayers. It is just a tragedy for everyone involved. I ride a motorcycle on a regular basis and even when I pay attention to other drivers, I have had close calls. tragedies such as this just make you appreciate how precious life is.
No DUI in NC
