What is ‘legally drunk’ in New Mexico

In New Mexico, drivers less than 21 years are considered to be legally drunk if their blood alcohol level is more than .02, for non-commercial drivers above 21 years, they are legally drunk when their blood alcohol level is more than .08. On the other hand, commercial vehicle drivers are considering being legally drunk when their blood alcohol level is more than .04. In New Mexico, school bus drivers are commercial drivers.

The Point System in New Mexico

The New Mexico MVD uses the point system to keep track of drivers’ traffic offenses and driving violations. If you accumulate too many you may face your driver’s license suspension, cancelation or revocation, fines and driving restrictions. A New Mexico driver who receives 7 to 10 points within one year will have the license suspended for 30 days.
