Driving under the influence, referred to as, "drunk
driving," describes operating a motor vehicle while
one's blood alcohol content is above the legal limit
set by Oklahoma statute, which supposedly is the level
at which a person cannot drive safely. State statutes
vary as to what that level is, but it ranges from .08
to .10 for adults, which means a 8/100ths to one-tenth
of one percent by weight of alcohol to the weight of
blood. This is translated into grams of alcohol per
100 milliliters of blood in tests of blood or urine
sample, or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of air in
a "breathalyzer" test. A combination of the
use of alcohol and narcotics can also be "under
the influence" based on erratic driving. Driving
on private property such as a parking lot is no drunk
driving defense, but sitting in a non-moving vehicle
without the ignition on probably is (sometimes resulting
in a charge of "drunk in and about a vehicle").
This is a misdemeanor and is variously referred to as
DUI, driving while intoxicated (DWI), drunk driving,
or a "deuce".
