The Legal Consequences of Underage DUIs

Zero Tolerance Policy: Arizona has a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving. This means that any driver under the age of 21 with any measurable amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with DUI.

‍

License Suspension: Underage DUI convictions result in the suspension of driving privileges. For a first offense, the driver's license is suspended for 90 days. Subsequent offenses lead to longer suspension periods, potentially up to two years.

‍

Ignition Interlock Device (IID): In some cases, underage DUI offenders may be required to install an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in their vehicle once their license suspension period is over. This device measures the driver's BAC before allowing the vehicle to start.

‍

Criminal Record: A conviction for underage DUI will result in a permanent criminal record, which can have long-term consequences for educational opportunities, future employment prospects, and other aspects of life.

‍

Increased Insurance Premiums: Insurance companies view DUI convictions as high-risk behavior. As a result, underage drivers can expect a significant increase in insurance premiums or even denial of coverage.

‍

Fines and Penalties: Underage DUI convictions carry substantial fines, which can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. The exact amount depends on the circumstances of the offense and any additional factors involved.

‍

Alcohol Education and Treatment Programs: Underage DUI offenders may be required to complete alcohol education or treatment programs as part of their sentencing. These programs aim to raise awareness about the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse and help individuals make better choices in the future.
