Panama's Drunk Driving Laws

8 years ago

According to the level of drunkenness, from 5-24 (micrograms per deciliter) a warning is given; 25-40 gets a $150; ticket: 41 or more is proven drunkenness, with a $150 fine, and car towed and retained.

Such an incident happened here in Boquete on Sunday, when a former Panama Social Development Minister, who is currently under arrest and awaiting trial for alleged money laundering, was booked for impaired driving and driving with an expired license on March 18 in Caldera, at the entrance to the Boquete district in Chiriqui. A breathalyzer test showed that he was driving with 65 micrograms per deciliter when the maximum allowed is 28.
