Utah's new DUI Law dropped the BAC (blood alcohol concentration) level from 0.08% to 0.05% in January of this year. I have posted about the new law several times. The Utah Highway Patrol recently released some statistics from January of this year regarding the 0.05% DUI Arrests.

According to Fox 13: "My entire presentation has been at .05 and you may say [...]
