Your Medical Condition is important to your DUI Defense

Your Medical Condition is important to your DUI defense.  You can fight a DUI charge.  There is a difference between being "drunk" and having a prohibited Blood Alcohol Content.  Unlike any other crime in Pennsylvania, DUI defense is based upon medical science.   The government has determined that it will impose a penalty upon the operation of a motor vehicle when your blood alcohol concentration exceeds a particular percentage.   Moreover, the government has determined that it will impose greater penalties based upon particular BAC levels.
