Kentucky DUI laws actually stipulate several different ways for a motorist to be charged with the offense of driving under the influence. One is a per se violation when a motorist has a blood alcohol content at or above 0.08%. It is also possible to have a BAC under the legal limit and still be charged with Kentucky DUI, based on a perception of impairment by a law enforcement officer. The range of violations available to police makes it easier to assign a charge of DUI in Kentucky.

The penalties for a first offense can include fines, jail, loss of driver's license, community service and enrollment in an alcohol awareness program. If there were aggravating circumstances, such as excessive speeding, any prior alcohol related driving offenses or an accident with injury, more severe penalties can be handed down, such as a longer jail sentence.
