In Virginia, the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) for drivers 21 years of age and older is 0.08%. If a driver is found with a BAC of 0.08% or higher, they can be charged with driving under the influence (DUI).
Furthermore, there are enhanced penalties for drivers who have higher BAC levels. Specifically, the state has set additional penalties at:
- 0.15% BAC: At this level, the penalties become more severe compared to the standard DUI penalties.
- 0.20% BAC: At this level, the penalties are the most severe, reflecting the significant impairment of the driver and potential risk to others.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
b. 0.08% BAC with enhanced penalties at 0.15% and the most severe penalties at 0.20%
