Michigan Drunk Driving Laws & Issues 2003

Michigan Drunk Driving laws are strict. Michigan does not have administrative license revocation for drunk drivers, which means the state has the ability to revoke the drivers license for a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). The Zero Tolerance alcohol limit for drivers under 21 is 0.02 BAC. Michigan does have graduated licensing. Michigan does qualify for the Section 410 incentive grant program.

Other Michigan traffic safety laws include:

  1. (Primary) Front seats for occupants of passenger cars & All seats for passengers age 4 to 15 - $25 Fine
  2. Restraint required < 4 years old - $15 Fine
  3. 03/10/67 Repealed effective 6-12-68. New law adopted effective 9-1-69. Helmet use required for all riders.
These laws have saved 640 people in 2003 and could have saved 166 more if everyone followed them.

Act Now! It is essential that you inquire about your traffic accident case as soon as possible. Litigation may be the only way to receive the damages to which you may be entitled, such as medical and health care bills, lost or diminished wages, and financial compensation to family in the case of death. Your individual state's law may limit your time to bring a legal claim to protect your rights. You need to have your Traffic Accident claim evaluated immediately!
