What is the Montana blood alcohol limit?

I like to party, but I would never drive while I feel drunk. That said, I don’t know if I’ve ever driven while over the legal BAC limit. What are the rules around Montana’s legal blood alcohol limit?

The legal blood-alcohol limit in
Montana
is 0.08. You’ll be charged with a DUI if you’re pulled over and you are above that limit.
A BAC level of 0.08 is typically when people start losing control of their cognitive and motor functions. That means that even if you don’t feel your driving has been impaired, you’re still liable to get a DUI for hopping behind the wheel. Here are some of the consequences you can expect for a first-offense DUI in Montana:
  • Up to six months in jail
  • Between $300 and $1,000 in fines
Aside from the obvious danger involved, driving under the influence can cause a huge spike in your car insurance premium. Luckily, you can still find the lowest available rates on the car insurance you need with
