  2. You can still be convicted of DUI if you are impaired
  3. You cannot be arrested for DUI
  4. Only a blood test can show you are impaired

Correct answer: You can still be convicted of DUI if you are impaired

A BAC below the limit is not always safe. You can be arrested and convicted of DUI without a BAC measurement.
