A horrific crash in Florida highlighted the possible dangers and legal defense challenges of driving after huffing inhalant chemicals.
A man has been charged with driving while intoxicated and killing four people. Authorities say the man was huffing a Dust-Off can, an aerosol commonly used to clean computer keyboards, which contains the chemical difluorethane (DFE). The man is claimed to have driven up to speeds of 107 miles per hour when he drove into the other car.
There is No Legal Limit for a DWI from Huffing
Everyone has heard of the legal limit for alcohol – a .08 blood alcohol content. No such legal limit exists for when people huff chemicals such as here.
