Based on your situation, there are several legal arguments and considerations in Nevada that could potentially support your case:

In Nevada, a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or higher is considered over the legal limit for driving under the influence (DUI). Since your BAC was .07%, it is below the legal limit. However, Nevada law also allows for DUI charges if the driver is found to be impaired to a degree that renders them incapable of safely driving, regardless of BAC. (NV Rev Stat § 484C.110)

Additionally, Nevada has an "implied consent" law, meaning that by driving in the state, you consent to BAC testing if suspected of DUI. Refusal to take a test can result in license suspension.

For a first offense DUI in Nevada, penalties can include fines, mandatory DUI school, and a temporary license suspension, even if the BAC is below .08% but impairment is proven.

If I was arrested for suspected DUI, but the blood alcohol content ends up being .07% can I still get my license revoked? I’m in Nevada.

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand that facing a DUI charge can be very stressful. Can you tell me if this is your first offense or if you have prior DUI convictions?

I don't know.

Lexi, Chatbot

Have you already had a court date scheduled or any hearings related to this arrest?

Not sure why it says I don’t know there. It is first offense and I don't have any prior DUI convictions.

Lexi, Chatbot

Is there anything else the Criminal Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your DUI charge.

No.
