0.08 is not athe standard to go by. If you blow even a 0.01 you can be arrested for being under the influence. Its what is called a "sloppy DUI"
essentially its hard to convict for a DUI but you can receive the same penalties as a reckless citation which can be almost as expensive.

In IL, its .08 for a DUI in your car, and .04 for a DUI in your car if you hold a valid CDL.
I gues they hold truckers to a higher standard, as they should.
