Santa Monica DUI Defense Attorney For Underage DUI

How Are Penalties Different For Underage DUI?

If you are under the age of 21 and have been arrested for DUI, the penalties are more severe than if you were an adult. Per the "Zero Tolerance Law" any individual under the age of 21 who is discovered to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.01% or higher will lose their license for one year.

If they are further discovered to have a BAC of 0.05% or higher, they will be further charged with a Misdemeanor as an adult would with a BAC of .08%. In addition to any fines imposed, a person under the age of 21 with a BAC of 0.05% faces a 1 year suspension of their license and they will have to show proof of financial responsibility prior to having their license returned to them. They will likely also have to enroll in a DUI alcohol program.

Although being arrested for DUI is serious, obtaining the help of an experienced DUI defense attorney who can implement a defense strategy is your best bet in achieving the most favorable result possible.
