re: Whale Whale Whale- Etienne was UNDER the legal limit

You’re off on this. Less safe is not a lesser charge under GA 40-6-391, the dui statute. There are multiple ways the statute can be violated with less safe being but one of the ways it can be violated.

DUI Per Se and DUI Less Safe do have one important similarity, however: the penalties for conviction are the same. Many people believe that Less Safe is less serious than Per Se DUI. This is a very common misconception. Regardless of whether the case is charged as a Less Safe DUI or a Per Se DUI, the penalties are identical and get more serious depending on the number of prior DUIs a person has.
