Drugs with Dui- that is what the cops in the roads of California looked for. The drivers are penalized by the California vehicle law who so ever drive under the influence of alcohol or drug. A person is supposed to be driving under the 
influences (DUI) of alcohol or drugs are believed to be mentally or physically impaired to drive in the road like a sober person and that might cause accident. The cops catch hold of such drivers by simply looking at their watery red eyes, unsteady approaches and slurred speeches. A jurisdiction specifies that driving consuming alcohol or drugs are illegal.
This offence is being penalized severely in California. Despite of all such penalties people are so much hell bound that still the drivers are found driving consuming liquor or drugs. Higher fines are being issued to the drivers as a sign of penalties and it could be no way saved by a lawyer. A separate department called DUI defense has been set up by California polices which includes forensic toxicologists, attorneys, lawyers and investigators in order to make prosecution against an offender under DUI law.
Under section 23152 in California it is completely unlawful to drive in a drunken state. This law clearly specifies that any person driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs have to pay a penalty of 1000 dollar or imprisonment of six months or both of the punishment once caught under this law. Polices uses a drug recognition evaluator machine to find out the level of the consumption of alcohol or drugs on a DUI offender.
The research made by the public health law specifies the effect of driving consuming alcohol and drugs. Mostly these are being found on the youths under the age of 21 who drive on a drunken state. The research gave evidence on the fact that the alcohol consumption leads to increase the toxic level in the blood which in turn makes the nervous system disable to perform work. This hence causes impairing between a person’s mental and physical stability. In such a case a person is no way fitted to drive in the road and consider being in drunken state. For such kind of offenders ignition interlock programs are being designed by the public health law and tried to make it effective with the sole aim to reduce driving in drunken state.
