DUI Law

Driving Under the Influence ("DUI") in Washington State applies to any instance where a person operates a motor vehicle with a alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher or while "under the influence of or affected by" alcohol and/or any drug. A "physical control" charge applies if a person is in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or any drug. Physical Control carries the same penalties as a DUI and the information contained on this website for DUI is generally also going to apply to the charge of Physical Control.
