Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1983 Supp. 8-1567, as amended by 1984 Senate Bill No. 490, provides [at subsection (a)] that no person shall operate a vehicle within this state while under the influence of alcohol. While it is necessary to show that a defendant was "under the influence of alcohol" in order to prove a violation, this phrase means that the defendant's mental or physical function was impaired to the extend that he or she was incapable of safely driving a vehicle. Such incapability may be presumed if it is shown that there was .10% or more by weight of alcohol in the defendant's blood, and need not be accompanied by any showing that the actual operation of the vehicle was erratic or that the driver failed to exercise due care.
