Below is a summary from Tennessee law on driving under the influence;
'Per Se' BAC level is .08 and people age 21 years and younger must not have more than a BAC level of .02 under the zero tolerance law.
License Suspension 1st Offense: 1 year
License Suspension 2nd Offense: 2 years
License Suspension 3rd Offense: 3 years
Mandatory jail time after 2nd offense and possible vehicle confiscation. Mandatory alcohol education/assessment/treatment is possible in the state of Tennessee. These programs include drunk driving prevention education and an assessment of the offender's drinking level. If the evaluation finds that the driver is alcohol dependent, the driver can be mandated to participate in some form of treatment. Possible ignition interlock, a machine connected to car's ignition that checks for the presence of alcohol in the driver. The driver must blow into the machine to start the car and continue to periodically blow into the device to keep the car in motion. If the device senses alcohol, the car will not start or will turn itself off. Open container law is for driver only (statewide) and varies locally. If suspected of DUI it is required of the driver to submit to blood, breath or urine sample and if refused, mandatory license suspension can be issued. An enhanced penalty would be given in the state of Tennessee if your BAC level is .20 and other factors such as having minors in the car, speeding over a certain limit, previous convictions, having a traffic accident and refusal to submit a breath, blood or urine sample.
