Consequences of Extreme DUI in Scottsdale

In Arizona, an Extreme DUI charge applies when a driver's BAC measures at or above 0.15%, which is nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08% for standard DUI offenses. This designation highlights the heightened level of impairment associated with such elevated BAC levels and the increased danger it poses to the driver and others on the road. Some of the consequences you could face if convicted are:

‍

Enhanced Penalties: Extreme DUI convictions carry more severe penalties compared to standard DUI offenses due to the significantly higher BAC levels involved. The courts view Extreme DUI as a serious offense with potentially greater risks to public safety.

‍

License Suspension: Individuals convicted of Extreme DUI in Scottsdale, AZ, face an automatic suspension of their driver's license. For first-time offenders, the suspension period can range from 90 days to 1 year, depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

‍

Incarceration: Extreme DUI convictions typically lead to mandatory jail time. First-time offenders can face a minimum of 30 days in jail, while subsequent offenses carry lengthier sentences. Aggravating factors such as prior convictions can further increase the jail term.

‍

Significant Fines: Extreme DUI convictions in Scottsdale, AZ, entail substantial fines ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. The exact amount is determined by the court, taking into consideration any prior DUI offenses and other relevant factors.

‍

Ignition Interlock Device (IID): Following an Extreme DUI conviction, individuals are required to install an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in their vehicle. The IID measures the driver's BAC and prevents the vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected.

‍

Probation and Alcohol Education Programs: In addition to jail time and fines, Extreme DUI offenders often face probationary periods and mandatory participation in alcohol education or treatment programs. These programs aim to educate individuals about the dangers of impaired driving and help them make positive changes in their behavior.

‍

Long-term Consequences: The consequences of an Extreme DUI conviction go beyond legal penalties. It can lead to increased insurance premiums, potential job loss or difficulty finding employment, limited educational opportunities, and reputational damage.
