About LegalLimit.com

What this site is

LegalLimit.com is a reference site for US state DUI and impaired-driving laws. Each state page covers BAC limits, penalty tiers (first / second / third or more), license consequences, ignition-interlock rules, and implied-consent rules, with primary-source citations on every numeric fact.

We intend the site for drivers researching their state's rules, people anticipating or facing a DUI charge, and attorneys or paralegals using it as a quick cross-jurisdictional reference. The site is not legal advice, not an attorney-referral service, and not a substitute for consulting a licensed attorney.

Who runs the site

LegalLimit.com is run by a single independent editor. The editor is not currently named publicly on the site; the site is operated pseudonymously at this stage. There is no team of attorneys, no outside reviewer, and no advertising or referral relationship with any law firm. Future updates may add a named author or attorney review; the site will disclose any such change if and when it happens.

State pages are drafted with AI assistance and then put through a multi-pass human editorial review. The editor verifies citations against primary statutes and official agency publications before publication. The editorial process and citation discipline below describe what that means in practice.

Editorial process

Each state page is produced through a four-pass pipeline before it is registered and published:

1. FAQ questions first. Five to eight questions a reader is likely to want answered are proposed and reviewed before any answer drafting begins.
2. Full-file draft. The complete state module is drafted against that question set, with every numeric or statutory claim sourced to a primary statute or official agency page.
3. Operator verification. The editor walks a state-specific verification checklist, opens every cited URL, and spot-checks numeric facts against the underlying statute or agency text.
4. Adversarial review. A separate hostile-critic pass enumerates defects across the draft — numeric mismatches, sub-case-coverage gaps, structured-value-vs-prose contradictions, descriptive-field misstatements, and missing qualifiers — with citations.

All findings rated Critical or Significant in the adversarial review must be resolved before a state is registered as published. Lower-severity findings may be deferred to a later review pass.

Citation discipline

We cite primary sources — state statutes, official agency publications, and court opinions where relevant. When a claim cannot be traced to a primary source, we omit the claim rather than cite a secondary summary. This rule applies equally to numeric facts (BAC thresholds, fines, jail terms, suspension durations, ignition-interlock durations) and to descriptive prose about how a statute operates.

Each state page exposes its source list at the bottom of the page. Every numeric fact in the underlying state data traces to one or more entries in that source list.

Corrections

Each state page carries a Last reviewed date in its underlying data and in the page's machine-readable metadata, so the freshness of each page is visible to search engines and to readers who view source. When we learn of a material error — a numeric mismatch, a misstated statutory rule, a missing qualifier — we re-run the affected state through the multi-pass review and republish with an updated Last reviewed date.

Minor errors — typos, formatting inconsistencies, link rot — may be corrected and noted at the next scheduled review without an immediate Last reviewed bump.
