What is buzzed driving?
What exactly is buzzed driving? I keep seeing buzzed driving is drunk driving on my social media but I’m confused as to what that actually means. Is it just another term for drunk driving?
Liz Jenson · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Buzzed driving refers to driving with a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.01% to 0.07%. The legal BAC limit for driving is 0.08%. This means that, while you are technically driving with a substance in your system, buzzed driving is not illegal.
However, some campaigns against buzzed driving maintain that it is still dangerous, even though it’s not legally considered to be the same as drunk driving. Driving with any alcohol in your system can lead to a more severe
accident
due to lowered inhibitions and impaired judgment. To stay safe, it’s best not to drink and drive.While you’re learning about buzzed driving, why not learn about your insurance options too? The
