The State of New York currently has a limit of 0.08% BAC for standard motorists. In other words, any driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or more is considered to be driving under the influence in New York.
Reducing Current DUI Limits
According to reports, an Democratic Assemblyman from Brooklyn recently announced a proposal for a new law that would reduce the drunk driving limit from the current levels of 0.08% BAC to 0.05% BAC.
The new measure would aim to lower the number of drunk driving incidents throughout New York.
During the announcement the Assemblyman cited a recommendation from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, that concluded that a reduction in the legal limit would in fact reduce drunk driving incidents and could potentially save thousands of lives each year.
Utah recently passed a law that reduces the legal limit for drunk driving in the State of Utaf from 0.08% to 0.05%, but the law will not go into effect until December 30th, 2018.
