Her vehicle was impounded under John's Law, a 12-hour hold designed to prevent impaired drivers from getting back on the road. In New Jersey, driving while intoxicated is governed under statute 39 4 50. A driver is considered legally impaired at a BAC of 0.08% or higher. At 0.26%, this falls into a significantly aggravated range. Penalties can include fines, license restrictions, mandatory education programs, and ignition interlock requirements. John's Law also allows police to impound a vehicle for 12 hours to prevent continued risk.
