1 sentence

1983On the other hand, in Burg, supra, at 533, the court held that the statute in question “conveys to the drinking driver a sufficiently definite warning of what conduct is proscribed.” As the dissent in* Alfaro said: Vehicle Code section 23152, subdivision (b), manifestly warns the drinking driver that he must discontinue, or at least temper, his drinking after his initial imbibition. lest he reach the forbidden blood alcohol driving level, and face arrest and prosecution.
