Tennessee Traffic Violations
Tennessee traffic laws are similar to those in other areas of the United States. A driver can expect to have his or her license suspended for six months should they be ticketed for three or more speeding and/or misdemeanor traffic violations within a period of twelve months.
Tennessee DUI Laws
The laws surrounding driving under the influence in the state of Tennessee are meant to discourage people from drinking and driving. Like many states Tennessee has harsh laws surrounding DUIs. Just a few of the things that are taken into consideration when determining sentencing for a DUI in the state of Tennessee are:
- Prior DUI conviction in the past ten years
- A blood alcohol content (BAC) of more than .20%
- Refusing a BAC test
- Being arrested for DUI with a child under 14 in your car
- Exceeding the speed limit by 20 mph or more
