It's going to be hard to fight it just because your under age. What was your blood alcohol level?

Did you get an actual DUI? Or did they get you for underage drinking? Seems they should have told your readings. Also long as your under the legal limit that does not constitute a DUI. First thing sounds like you need to find out what your charged with and get your readings. Find out the facts, then consult an attorney. Or google DUI laws and read up to see if you can find a loophole.

0.01% is the limit if you're underage. Under 21 year of age, took a preliminary alcohol screening (PAS) test or other chemical test and results showed 0.01% BAC or more, your driving privilege will be suspended for 1 year.

Get a lawyer if you think you've got a leg to stand on. If not, consider this all a very expensive learning experience, sack up, and deal with it.

I got an actual DUI

Your not going to be able to fight it because your under age and charged with a dui. I got one when I was 19. I paid about 3000 worth. Live and learn. Good luck to you though. I hope it some how works out for you.

And, just to remind everyone out there, you are NOT required to submit to field sobriety tests or preliminary screenings if you are over 21. You are only required to submit to BAC tests AFTER arrest.

It is possible for the OP to get out of a DUI depending on cirmunstances. But, as others have said, any BAC reading is going to me automatic license suspension for people under 21

A person under 21 cannot drive with any measurable amount of alcohol in their system.

You do not have to have .08 BAC to be arrested for DUI. The .08 or greater is a second charge (cvc 23152b)

A person may shows signs of impairment (whether from drugs and/or alcohol) and not be .08 but still arrestable for 23152a. Think of your prescription pain pill poppers or those high on marijuana. Just because a Dr prescribes it does not mean your safe to operate a vehicle.

I feel for ya and its an easy mistake to make for anybody. I'd be lying if I said I've never driven drunk before, and I'd also be lying if I said I was never drunk when I've been pulled over by a cop. Luckily the cop didnt figure out how shit faced I was. What a POS cop right? Anyways, what you'll realize is that you cant put yourself in situations that will end up with you behind the wheel after even 1 drink. The one drink thing is fucking bullshit too by the way, nobody has just one drink that gets them a dui unless your a midget. I'd suggest to start smoking weed, nobody gets hit with a driving under the influence of mary jane. That way you can have the mind change your looking for. But if you know your going to drink, plan shit out and prepare to get a cab or something. They are much cheaper than DUis!

Look's like Your done. Whatever You do don't get caught doing it again they are really cracking down on DUI's and I think it's mandatory jail time for the second offense now. What the hell were You thinking? Don't You know that labor day weekend and new year's are the absolute worst time to drink and drive?? Try and get a free or cheap consultation with a DUI attorney and see if there is chance of getting it dropped to a wet recklous. For the rest of the people out there, I learned the hard way "about 15 years ago" that an open container is a 2 point major violation and the insurance company's look at it the same as getting a DUI which mean's full coverage insureance is virtually unattainable and You will lose Your job if it has anything to do with driving. For the OP hopefully You learned Your lesson and find a loop hole out of this thing.

I thought if your under 21 you can't have any alcohol in you while driving, and once your 21 you have to be under 0.08?

Your very misinformed, people get arrested everyday for driving under the influence of marijuana.

your fucked your not 21 your not able to drink. simple as that
 
Posted by FordManDan (Member # 432) on :
 
The most important thing here is that you realize you made a stupid mistake. That alone is what the DA or any judge will want to be certain of.

I have no patience for anyone drinking and then driving a car. No matter how old.

Not saying you were drunk, just saying...

Make better choices and convince the proper people that it was a horrible mistake and you'll never do it again.

If you play your cards right, you'll be able to expunge the offense from your record once you complete the required disciplinary actions.

Actually, thats not true.

There is two sections to the DUI law. One for driving while under the influence and one for being over .08% BAC.

You can be charged with both or just the (a) section.....


23152. (a) It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.

(b) It is unlawful for any person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle.

It would be awful hard to get that one to stick. But since this gentleman is under the legal drinking age sounds like they got em. The part you quoted sticks really well if the officer observes the person drinking and watches him get behind the wheel. But does not sound like this is the case. And I am giving my best Perry Mason at this point.

I hope the gentleman here makes better choices in the future.

And by the way, the next person to tell me that they had been pulled over for driving while under the influence of weed will be the first.

There are two other citable offenses 23136 (over .01 BAC) and 23140 (over .05 BAC) for people under 21 which are pretty much a ticket you sign for.

23152 A/B is for a DUI which supercedes the two previously stated

510svt, Think of this DUI as a God send.

My advise, after the resulting punishment, would be to quit drinking. You will live a better life overall..i promise. [Wink]

off topic..

My coworker managed to get a dui with 6 sober people in his suv... asked me for advice I told him look for new friends,didnt listen now he has 2 dui's following him around and is unemployed...commercial license + dui = game/life over

I dont know you dude or want to come off like a dick but if you got a dui on labor day weekend

1.you dont watch the nightly news or you would have known ALL Law enforcement agencies are on 100% dui/traffic enforcement..

2.you saw the news and just didnt give a fuck...

3.you are some OG paisa that likes driving around drunk...

I drank 1 BEER and told my girl to drive,just not worth gambling specially if you have someone sober with you...

First off I would contact a DUI lawyer! asap. But being under 21 you may be screwed.

You have 10 days (i think) to file with the DMV to keep from getting your DL suspended right away.

Court process and the DMV process are 2 completely different things.

CALL A LAWYER!

Also be lucky you got pulled over, and not plowed into someone or something.

+1. You need to call a lawyer. Like a couple of others have said, being under 21, you're fux0rd. If you're lucky, you might be able to keep your license to drive to work and back, but I wouldn't count on it. A good lawyer might be able to swing that for you.
