Under 21 DUI Charges
Phoenix DUI Attorney
Arizona imposes a "zero tolerance" law when it comes to underage drinking and driving. A driver who is under the age of 21 may not operate a motor vehicle with any amount of alcohol in his or her system - even when he or she shows no outward signs of physical or mental impairment. If an underage driver takes a breath test or blood test and shows a result of even .01%, he or she may face DUI charges and strict penalties.
In fact, the penalties for under 21 DUI in Arizona are just as severe as those for adults with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater, including:
- Up to 2 year license suspension
- Up to 60 days imprisonment
- Minimum 1 day in jail
- Fines and court fees of up to $1,700
- Community service
- Probation
- Alcohol education/rehabilitation/counseling
