More people in the U.S. are charged with driving under the influence (DUI) than any other criminal offense. In Connecticut, there are approximately 10,000 drivers arrested for DUI each year.

Connecticut DUI Law

In order to convict a person of DUI in Connecticut, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a driver operated a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both while the ratio of alcohol in his blood was .08 percent or more.

One of the penalties associated with a DUI in Connecticut is the administrative suspension of your driving privileges upon an arrest for DUI and receipt of the police officer's report. If you refuse to submit to a blood, breath or urine test at the request of the officer or if the results of your test show an elevated blood alcohol content, the DMV will suspend your driver's license, even if you are not subsequently convicted of DUI.
