In Mississippi, the blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for individuals over the age of 21 is 0.08. For drivers under the age of 21, the BAC limit is 0.02. The BAC limit for individuals with commercial driver’s licenses is 0.04, even if they are driving a personal vehicle.
It is unlawful to operate a vehicle with a BAC higher than the legal limit. Anyone with a higher BAC can be charged with a DUI.
DUI penalties can be strict. You can face fines, jail time, and license suspension. DUI penalties vary based on the number of DUIs an individual has been charged with.
