Representation for Drivers Under 21 Years of Age
Zero Tolerance Defense in San Dimas, California
In the state of California, under the zero tolerance law, a person under the age of 21 can be arrested for a minor DUI if he or she has a blood alcohol content (BAC) of over .01. If the underage driver has a BAC of .08 or above, the driver may also be charged with a DUI as an adult in addition to penalties for a minor DUI.
The laws for implied consent and for criminal offenses are also different for minors in the state of California. Minors are required to submit to field sobriety testing and any breath or blood tests. Failure to submit to these tests will automatically result in the minor losing full driving privileges for an entire year.
At the Law Offices of Paul E. Antill, we represent drivers under the age of 21 in minor DUIs. While the laws are stricter for underage DWIs, the law still gives minors the right to a criminal defense and an experienced attorney.
