Road Safety Reminder for the Week Driving While Impaired
Alcohol and/or drugs impair your judgment. Impaired judgment or good sense affects how you react to sounds and what you see. It is also dangerous to walk in traffic or ride a bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
On Guam it is illegal to drive, operate, or otherwise be in control of a motor vehicle while:
impaired under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance
having a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher
having a BAC of 0.04% or higher if under the age of 21
having impaired physical or mental abilities caused by inhaling, ingesting, applying, or us-ing any chemical, poison or organic solvent, or any compound, or any combination of these
Should you be convicted of a first violation of driving while impaired, you will be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be sentenced to:
impaired under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance
having a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher
having a BAC of 0.04% or higher if under the age of 21
having impaired physical or mental abilities caused by inhaling, ingesting, applying, or us-ing any chemical, poison or organic solvent, or any compound, or any combination of these
