Utah Underage DUI

Being charged with Underage DUI in Utah is unique from a typical DUI for a few reasons. In order to be convicted the prosecution only needs to show that the defendant is under the age of 21 and they have any measurable amount of alcohol in their system. Also minor convicted of Underage DUI in Utah will have their license suspended until they reach the age of 21 which will greatly impede the minor’s work, school, and social life.

Consequently, because is obviously illegal for minor to drink or possess alcohol it is also likely that they will have an illegal consumption or possession of alcohol charge added on as well. To be convicted of this charge the prosecution can use the same evidence as the DUI, that there was any measurable amount of alcohol in the defendant’s system

  5. Underage DUI can be very tedious case but with a help of an expert lawyer, you may be acquitted of the crime. It is important for an underage individual not to drink when he plans to drive especially if he's underage to prevent this kind of case. This will prevent you from incurring additional charges.

  6. DUI is one of the major causes of vehicular accidents. This is the reason why people who are under the influence of any substance are prohibited to drive to ensure their safety as well as the safety of other people.

  7. DUI is one of the main causes of a car accident. A big fraction of drivers charged for DUI are minors. It's definitely fair to confiscate someone's license once they're caught driving under the influence.

  8. Suspected DUI should require to get their DUI attorney to defend himself or help minimize their penalties charged against him. They even help you on what to do during the course of hearing.
