What is the Idaho blood alcohol limit?

I’m headed to Idaho in a few weeks. While I’m certainly excited about the trip, I also want to make sure I know the law when I’m driving. What’s the blood alcohol limit in Idaho if I decide to hit a few bars along the way?

DUI laws in Idaho
are similar to everywhere else in the country (with the notable exception of Utah). The
Idaho
blood alcohol limit is .08, which you can easily achieve by just two or three drinks in a short period of time.
If you’re pulled over and charged with a DUI in Idaho, you can face the following penalties:
  • Up to six months of jail time
  • Up to $1,000 in fines not including court costs
  • License suspension of between 90 and 180 days
On top of these penalties, your car insurance rates are sure to increase drastically. Before you pay top dollar for your new car insurance premium after a DUI, use the
