West Virginia


West Virginia prohibits anyone from driving while being in an “impaired state.” An impaired state includes anyone:
 
  • + with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more, or
  • + under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any impairing substance, or combination thereof.

The BAC limit is reduced to .04% if the licensee is driving a commercial vehicle and is reduced to .02% for drivers who are under 21 years old. However, offenders under the age of 21 (with a BAC of .02% or more but less than .08%) face reduced fines and jail time (as compared to a regular DUI), but will lose their license for 60 days and/or until at least 18 years old.
