DUI - Driving Under the Influence
DWI - Driving While Intoxicated
DUID - Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Driving under the influence (DUI), which is sometimes called driving while intoxicated, is a serious and common offense, especially, underage drunk driving. DUI is defined as operating a means of conveyance while excessive amounts of alcohol, or any kind of controlled substance, are present in the body. Currently, all 50 states, including the District of Columbia, have laws on the books that make it a crime for anyone to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent. For those under the age of 21, however, that percentage is much lower and the underage drinking and driving laws and underage dui consequences are less consistent across the each state.

Clearly, laws prevent teenagers from legally possessing, consuming, or driving under the influence of alcohol, but as reality proves, teen drinking and driving still does occur. According to SADD, nearly three-fourths of high school students consumed alcohol illegally and against the proven facts of danger prior to graduation. The government’s Office of Applied Studies branch, notes that three million persons aged twelve to twenty, abuse or are dependent on alcohol annually. For many of teens involved in drinking alcohol and risk taking such as driving while under the influence of alcohol, these decisions are at the very least looming indicators of future problems to come. If you know your teen is abusing alcohol you should seek help immediately.

In addition to medical reasons, many people seek addiction treatment for legal reasons. For example, DUI and other substance related charges. Inspirations Teen Rehab - Addiction Treatment Centers has experience working with attorneys and courts. Teen Drug and Alcohol treatment is frequently an alternative to jail terms and other penalties.

Underage Drinking And Driving Laws

Underage drinking and driving laws fall under a “zero tolerance” statute in state law. This statute dictates that it is illegal for anyone under the legal drinking age (21) to operate a motor vehicle if they have any alcohol in their system. The amount of alcohol that a minor can have in their system varies from state to state. Some states classify a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of anything greater than 0.0% as too high, whereas most states only charge those with a BAC greater than 0.02%. Many states set the level at 0.02% because certain cough syrups and mouthwashes contain a small amount of alcohol. In states where the zero tolerance statute does not fall under DUI provisions minors can have relatively small punishments which might include having their licenses suspended and paying a fine, but not be charged with a DUI. In other states, however, minors can be charged with a DUI and face possible jail time. Minors in both cases might also be charged with the additional crime of consuming alcohol as a minor.

Underage BAC and Sentencing Guidelines

In many states, anyone under 21-years-old caught driving with a BAC level of .02% or higher can be cited for an underage DUI. Although the punishments for underage DUI varies by state, the sentencing guidelines typically involve the following:

• Paying fines ranging from $100 to $2,500
• Impounding the car involved
• Attending drug/alcohol and driver’s education classes
• Completing between 30-60 days of community service
• Revocation of driving privileges for anywhere from 90 days to 3 years
• Paying any and all fees associated with the punishments
• Jail time, ranging from 2 days to a year
• Probation for a period of 3 to 5 years

Other charges often added to a typical underage DUI arrest include:

• Minor in possession of alcohol
• Soliciting alcohol from an adult
• Distributing alcohol to other minors, if drunk passengers are present
• Child Endangerment Law violations
• Possession of false identification or uttering charges, if fake id’s are found
• The gamut of moving & vehicle maint. violations at the discretion of the arresting officer
