The DUII Law in Oregon
Drunk driving is charged as DUII in Oregon, at a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or more.
Driving in Oregon is consent to a breath or blood test when an officer has cause to suspect DUII; the license case that follows a refusal or a failed test is run by the DMV, separately from the criminal case.
