What is a breathalyzer test that is .022?

i know that a bac test has 3 Digits on it it starts with .000 than it goes up if there is something in your system. but what i am asking is what is reading of a .002 rater than a reading of a .15

Breathalyzers measure blood alcohol content as a percentage. A reading of .022 could be registering just one drink taken in the last hour. Generally, alcohol will dissipate at the rate of .015% per hour.

If the New Jersey limit is .08 you are presumed to be drunk if you test at .08 or higher. Mathematically, .022 is less than .08. A person who tests at .022 is not presumed to be drunk. This makes a difference in court. If you are presumed to be drunk, it is up to you to prove that you were not. If you did not test at .08 or higher, it is up to the prosecutor to prove that you were drunk. You can be charged with driving under the influence even if you test at less than .08. But the test does not help the prosecutor as much as it would if you tested higher.

getting off with a warning... and .15 spending the night in jail, and a DUI.

No, its simple math. A .15 is higher than a .02.

.002 is barely having any alcohol in your system per 100 ml of breath.

.15 is legally intoxicated. .04 to .07 (and higher) can get you a DUI, DWI.

it is the amount of alcohol in 100ml of breath
022 is the UK maximum
if you are above that, you are over the limit


Buck Fush
A little over a quarter of the legal limit.
