What happens if I blew a .06 on my breath test?

If you need specific legal advice regarding a pending criminal charge, I'd recommend you privately consult with an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, the court may appoint you one payable at the public's expense as long as you meet the eligibility requirements. Speaking generally, there is no actual "legal limit" to driving while under the influence of alcohol. The term "legal limit" usually just differentiates between different potential misdemeanor charges and is traditionally the minimum level before a person is charged with a severe offense, operating while intoxicated. Even though a person's alleged blood alcohol limit is below a .08, they still may be charged with several potential misdemeanor charges. These charges include Operating while Impaired, which is a lesser-included offense for driving while intoxicated. A person may be charged with this offense if they have any traceable alcohol in their system and if that level of alcohol impaired their driving. Further, a person could also be charged with Reckless Driving, regardless of whether alcohol was allegedly involved. Anyone charged with a moving violation should strongly consider retaining a lawyer to assist them. They need to know their rights.

The limit is .08 for OWI but there is no lower limit for impaired. You need an attorney.

The test at the side of the road is a "PBT." It is not admissible at Court as evidence of intoxication. The test at the station is the "Evidential Breathalyzer Test." It is the one which is admissible at Court. Since the result is be.08, three is no clear evidence that you are intoxicated. However, the prosecutor could use other evidence to establish impaired driving or driving while intoxicated. This could include your admissions about drinking, the smell of alcohol, any open intoxicants, field sobriety tests, observations of your driving, and other things. You should consider hiring an attorney who will review your case and have a trial if necessary. Many attorneys will take a case anticipating a plea. However, in your case, more is needed, and you should get the appropriate attorney who will work to see whether a conviction of a drinking offense can be avoided.

PBT are not evidence of dui. The MI std is .08 of driving intoxicated and .04 for driving while impaired. The ticket is defective and should be thrown out or amended to reflect the .06.

You can still be charged and convicted, usually if there is bad driving. I'm representing a client in your boat right now. Use a court appointed attorney if you cannot afford a private one.
