What Are The Penalties for an Underage DUI in California?

The sooner you begin consulting with our firm, the better job we can do to protect you. DUI cases progress quickly and are subject to a number of deadlines within which you must respond to your charges, file for hearings, and appear before the DMV and the court. Failing to meet any of these deadlines can significantly impact your final result.

Consequences for an underage DUI can include:

California abides by the "Zero Tolerance" law, which means that an underage driver does not need to have a BAC of 0.08% or higher in order to be arrested or convicted for a DUI. Any trace of alcohol in your system is enough to face charges. However, the level of alcohol does affect how severe the penalties will be if convicted.

The following are the specific penalties for underage drinking and driving as determined by BAC:

  • BAC of 0.01% or greater: License suspension for 1 year, but no DUI on criminal record
  • BAC of 0.05% or greater: License suspension for 1 year, DUI goes on criminal record, $100 fine, mandatory enrollment in a three-month DUI education course
  • BAC of 0.08% or greater: An underage driver with this level of BAC can face the maximum penalties an adult would face for a DUI, which are much more severe.

If someone was injured as a result of the alleged DUI, your case becomes even more complex. We are meticulous about evaluating your options and work tirelessly to protect your underage rights.
