What are DUI and OUI?

DUI and OUI laws in Massachusetts address individuals accused of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other impairing substances. These charges hinge on proving that a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle was impaired or their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeded the legal limit of 0.08%.
