If you have been
charged with DUI / DWI which took place on a road owned by the Federal
government, National Park Service land, place on federally owned property,
including military bases or other government-owned lands or roads, such as the
GW Parkway and the Pentagon parking lot then you will be prosecuted in a
Federal court.
Under 36 CFR 4.23
Operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
"(a) Operating or being in actual physical control
of a motor vehicle is prohibited while:
(1)
Under the influence of alcohol, or a drug, or drugs, or any combination
thereof, to a degree that renders the operator incapable of safe operation; or
(2) The
alcohol concentration in the operator's blood or breath is 0.08 grams or more
of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or 0.08 grams or more of alcohol per
210 liters of breath. Provided however, that if State law that applies to
operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol establishes more
restrictive limits of alcohol concentration in the operator's blood or breath,
those limits supersede the limits specified in this paragraph."

Mantel v. United
States
Facts:
Since the
evidence was sufficient to sustain a conviction, the magistrate did not abuse
his discretion in admitting any evidence, and the magistrate was well within
his discretion in not reducing defendant's crime of conviction of reckless
driving to the lesser offense of improper driving. Defendant did not articulate
why his degree of culpability was slight.

The Federal Court
made the following holding:
- Because 18 U.S.C.S. § 13
incorporates Virginia law, state court decisions construing the reckless
driving statute are binding.
- Where the degree of
culpability is slight, a court in its discretion may find the accused not
guilty of reckless driving but guilty of improper driving.
