Note: In order to find when a person will reach the legal blood or breath alcohol level, find the blood or breath alcohol level reading in the left hand column, go across and find where the blood or breath alcohol level reading is an alcohol concentration equivalent (as defined in IC 9-13-2-2.4) to below eight-hundredths (0.08) gram of alcohol per one hundred (100) milliliters of the person's blood or per two hundred ten (210) liters of the person's breath, then read up that column to find the minimum number of hours before the person can be released.
