What is the legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit for drivers over 21 in Utah?

The legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit for drivers over 21 in Utah is 0.08%. This means that if a driver's BAC is at or above this level, they are considered legally impaired and may face penalties such as fines, license suspension, or even jail time for driving under the influence (DUI). The 0.08% limit reflects the point at which alcohol consumption begins to significantly affect a person's ability to operate a vehicle safely, impairing judgment, coordination, and reaction times. Understanding this limit is crucial for responsible driving and ensuring safety on the roads.

The other levels mentioned, such as 0.04%, 0.05%, and 0.10%, do not represent the legal limit for general adult drivers in Utah. While lower BAC levels can still lead to impairment and potential legal issues for specific categories of drivers, such as commercial drivers or those under 21, they do not apply to the general adult driving population.
