Va. Model Jury Instr. Crim. No. 21.340
Alcohol Concentration—More Than 0.05 But Less Than 0.08
You have received evidence of the amount of alcohol in the blood of the defendant at the time
that a chemical test was administered. If at that time the amount of alcohol in the blood of the
defendant was more than 0.05 but less than 0.08, there is no presumption that the defendant was
or was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the alleged offense, but the evidence of the
amount of alcohol in the blood of the defendant at the time that a chemical test was administered
may be considered by you with other evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of the
defendant.
