Under 21 DUI Charges In Florida

Contact A Powerful Miami DUI Attorney Today

Driving under the influence (DUI) in Miami is a serious offense in any scenario, though drunk driving charges against minors under the age of 21 can be particularly damaging. Florida has a zero-tolerance rule for drivers under the legal drinking age, meaning that a minor’s driving privileges can be suspended if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of as little as 0.02% or more – a limit that can easily be reached by only one drink.

Penalties For Under 21 DUI In Florida

Just because a defendant may be of younger age does not mean that they will be offered more leniency. In fact, the opposite is quite true; drunk driving defendants under 21 years of age can face even greater trouble than those who are of age, including incarceration, probation, harsh fines, and more.

First-time offenders can face the following consequences upon conviction:

Driver’s license suspension for up to six months
Up to $2,000 in fines
Increased insurance premiums by $200 or more
Jail time at the judge’s discretion

In addition to DUI, underage defendants may also face additional charges for minor in possession of alcohol, soliciting alcohol, distributing alcohol to other minors if there were other drunk minors in the vehicle, and possession of false identification if a fake ID was used to purchase alcohol.
