Drugs and DUI Charges

Penalties for Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Pennsylvania's DUI / DWI/ and DAI laws have three tiers of punishment—the lower the blood-alcohol content (BAC), the less serious the charge. However, if you are convicted of driving under the influence of illegal drugs and certain controlled substances, your offense is automatically placed into the highest BAC category and that is one place that you do not want to be.
