Temecula Underage DUI

Temecula Underage DUI Attorney

Trusted Legal Solutions for California’s Underage Drivers

For underage drivers, automobile accidents are one of the most common causes of death. Underage drivers typically have been driving for fewer than 6 years, so they aren’t the most confident drivers. Underage drinking continues to be a problem, and when inebriated young, inexperienced drivers get behind the wheel of a car, they are primed for an automobile crash. In California, underage drunk driving is a serious problem with potentially fatal consequences.

Key Factors Contributing to Underage Traffic Accidents

  • Underage Drinking
  • Distracted Driving
  • Inexperience

According to California law, drivers under 21 are subject to Zero Tolerance DUI laws that discourage underage drinking and driving. If you’re an underage driver or the parent of a young adult charged with a DUI, you need to consult with our Temecula Underage DUI attorney immediately. Don’t assume the court will be lenient because it’s a first offense. Zero Tolerance DUI laws mean your child could face penalties, fines, and license suspension. At The Law Office of David E. Grande, our Temecula Underage DUI attorney, can help you fight these charges.

Understanding California Vehicle Code 23136: Zero Tolerance Law

California underage DUI offenses are subject to California Vehicle Code 23136, also known as the Zero Tolerance law. Drivers under 21 stopped by law enforcement with a BAC of 0.01 percent alcohol in their system violate the state’s drunk driving laws. For underage drivers, any amount of alcohol in their system violates California's Zero Tolerance law. Once an underage or young adult driver below the age of 21 is assessed by law enforcement and given a roadside alcohol screening, commonly referred to as a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer test, they will face an infraction if they have a BAC of .01 or a standard DUI if their BAC is .08 or higher. Even medications with alcohol can cause a driver under 21 to fail a breathalyzer test, which puts them in violation of CA vehicle code 23136. While not charged as a crime, violating the Zero Tolerance law can lead to a suspended license, fines, and penalties. With the help of an experienced Temecula underage DUI attorney, you can fight your license suspension.
