A blood-alcohol content of .08 is a per se violation — you can be arrested for driving under the influence regardless of driving behavior. You can also be charged with operating a motor vehicle while impaired (OMVI) regardless of your BAC if law enforcement observes traffic violations or other signs of impaired driving, or if you are under the influence of drugs. OMVI can apply to an automobile, boat, motorcycle, snowmobile, Jet-Ski or any motorized vehicle — even a lawn tractor.
