Which is it? It can't be both.
I'm not contradicting myself. You are incorrectly taking the second part out of context.


There is a law prohibiting driving while intoxicated. The standards set for that law are .08 BAC.

There is also a provision in that law that if you are intoxicated but aren't at .08 you can get a DUI.


Not sure how you think any of that is contradictory. I never said as long as you are under .08 that you are untouchable by the law.

In fact I said the exact opposite and qualified the statement.

It is totally legal to operate a motor vehicle so long as you are not intoxicated AND are under .08.
