Vermont


Vermont prohibits a person from operating, attempting to operate, or being in actual physical control of a vehicle:
 
  • + with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or greater (.04% or more if operating a commercial vehicle and .02% if operating a bus)
  • + while “under the influence” of any controlled substance, alcohol, or combination thereof.

“Actual physical control” requires the ability to exert control over a motor vehicle, but does not require actual movement, a conscious driver, or even an operable vehicle. “Under the influence” means the person’s ability to operate a motor vehicle safely is diminished or impaired in the slightest degree.

A driver with a BAC of .08% or more is considered to be “per se DUI,” which can result in a conviction regardless of actual impairment.
