UNDERAGE DUI LAWS & PENALTIES IN GEORGIA

In Georgia, you can be charged with a DUI if you are under the age of 21 and have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .02 percent or more. That is because anyone under 21 years old is legally prohibited from consuming and purchasing alcohol. Therefore, a low BAC can still result in criminal charges.

A first-time underage DUI is punishable by a jail sentence between 24 hours and 12 months, fines of up to $1,000, at least 20 hours of community service, and a driver’s license suspension for six months.

A second-time underage DUI within 10 years carries a jail term ranging from 72 hours to 12 months, a minimum of 30 days of community service, fines of up to $1,000, and license suspension between 18 months and five years.

A third underage DUI offense within 10 years is punishable by a jail sentence between 15 days and 12 months, fines of up to $5,000, at least 30 days of community service, and license suspension ranging from 18 months to five years.

HOW DOES A DUI AFFECT YOUR INSURANCE RATES?

In Georgia, you may have to pay higher insurance rates if you have a DUI on your record. The amount that your rates will increase will depend on the circumstances of your DUI, but you may have to pay higher rates for three years if you have a DUI conviction. If you are under the age of 21 and have a DUI, your rates will increase for six years.

HOW CAN I AVOID A DUI IF I’M UNDER 21?

If you are under the age of 21, there are steps that you can take to avoid being charged with a DUI. First, you should never drink and drive. Even if you do not feel that you have had too much to drink, you should not get behind the wheel. You should also avoid driving with other people in your vehicle who are intoxicated. If you are pulled over and the police officer suspects that you have been drinking, you should not refuse to take a chemical test. If you do, you could face a one-year license suspension.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kim and her staff guided me through the most stressful period of my life. The word gratitude does not begin to express what having them in my corner meant. From my first phone conversation, I was assured that Kim and her team would go to bat for me and boy did they. They handled all interactions with the detective and advised me all along the way. I finally got the call from Kim that my case was closed. Up until this morning I could only pray for that call and bingo I got it. None of us know what is coming for us in this life but when we are hit hard, we need a solid fearless advocate. The Frye Law group is that advocate. Bless them I’m forever grateful for them I can breathe now!!!!!!!!!!
