Utah ‘Not A Drop’ DUI Policy For Juveniles
Utah’s legislature and law enforcement agencies are dedicated to stopping drunk driving. In fact, our state has some of the toughest DUI laws in the country; laws that are vigorously enforced by police and prosecutors at every opportunity.
A significant number of these laws and enforcement efforts are aimed at underage offenders. Why juveniles? The state’s theory is that by aggressively prosecuting newly licensed teenagers, early patterns of dangerous driving will not become lifetime habits.
As a result, there is a strict “Not a Drop” policy for underage DUI cases. This means that if a person under the age of 21 is caught with any measurable or detectable amount of alcohol in his or her system, he or she can be charged with underage drinking and driving or minor in consumption. If convicted of underage DUI, a minor will suffer a license suspension until the age of 21.

Our law firm focuses solely on criminal defense and has defended hundreds of people charged with DUI, including many who were under 21 at the time of their arrests.
