Chico Underage DUI Attorney

Have You Been Charged with DUI in California?

If you are a teenager or young adult and have been charged with a DUI, you should speak with a qualified attorney as soon as possible. You may be wondering if you can be charged with a DUI if you are under the legal drinking age. However, you can be charged with a DUI even if you have not been drinking. If you have been drinking and get behind the wheel of a vehicle, you can still be charged with DUI even if you are under the legal drinking age. This is because California has zero-tolerance laws in place for drivers under the age of 21.

At Robert L. Marshall Attorney At Law, we have years of experience handling DUI cases. We can help you fight your charges and protect your rights. If you have been charged with DUI, you should not hesitate to contact us for a free case evaluation. We can review your case and advise you of your best legal options.

Underage DUI Laws & Penalties in California

If you have been charged with a DUI in California, you may be wondering what the penalties are for a DUI. As a teenager or young adult under 21 years old, you may be wondering if the penalties will be different from an adult who has been charged with a DUI.

California has a "zero-tolerance" policy, which means an underage driver can be charged with a DUI if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .01 percent. A zero-tolerance conviction is punishable by a fine and driver's license suspension for 1 year.

However, if the BAC level is .05 percent or higher, then a conviction can result in a more expensive fine, license suspension for 1 year, and enrollment in an alcohol education program.

If the BAC level is at least .08 percent, the penalties for a first-time DUI may include a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to 6 months in jail, which are the same penalties as a DUI conviction for someone at least 21 years old.

Can I Still Drive While My DUI Case is Pending?

If you have been charged with a DUI, you may be wondering if you can still drive while your case is pending. Unfortunately, you may not be able to drive while your DUI case is pending. You may have to surrender your driver's license to the DMV while your case is pending. However, you may be able to apply for a restricted license while your case is pending. You may be able to apply for a restricted license if you have a compelling reason to drive. For example, you may be able to apply for a restricted license if you need to drive to school or work.
