What is the illegal blood alcohol level for light vehicles?

In Puerto Rico, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for operating a light vehicle is set at .08 percent. This means that drivers are considered legally intoxicated if their BAC is .08 or higher. This limit aligns with the standards established by many jurisdictions to promote road safety and reduce alcohol-related accidents.

When the BAC exceeds this legal threshold, it indicates a significant impairment in the driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely, which can lead to serious traffic violations and penalties. Understanding this limit helps drivers make responsible choices regarding alcohol consumption and driving, ultimately contributing to safer roads for everyone.
