2. Though a very prominent case as seen in the news, there are still a lot of individuals that are unaware of the things
they do before or during driving that can get them arrested for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and/or A
Prohibited Substance (DUI).
To help you avoid being apprehended and eventually convicted for DUI, read below what the Nevada Revised
Statutes (NRS) Chapter 484C considers as prohibited acts.
3. To clarify things, by
driving drunk, the NRS
meant that the alcohol
concentration in your
breath or blood must be
equal to or higher than
0.08% (as proven by a
breathalyzer or blood
test) when you were
found controlling the
motor vehicle (NRS
484C.110.1.b).

4. Officers don’t need to
catch you on the act of
driving a vehicle to arrest
you for DUI. You can still
be arrested even if
authorities found out
(through legal tests)
about your drunk driving
deed only afterwards
(NRS 484C.110.1.c).

5. DUI is not just about
drunk driving. You can be
arrested for DUI once
legally proven that you
are driving under the
influence of illegal drugs
like Amphetamine,
Cocaine, Heroin, Lysergic
Acid Diethylamide or LSD,
Methamphetamine,
Phencyclidine, and
Marijuana (NRS
484C.110.3-4).

6. Just as you can get
arrested for driving while
drunk and driving while
drugged, you can get
arrested for driving while
under the combined
influence of alcohol and
an illegal substance (NRS
484C.110.2.b).

7. When you committed a
vehicular homicide while
drunk and/or drugged,
you will not only be
arrested for vehicular
homicide—you can also
be arrested for DUI, if you
are proven drunk or
drugged when you
caused the death of
another person while
driving (NRS
484C.130.1.b).
