What Is Underage DUI in Washington?

Under 21 DUI Consequences

In the State of Washington, underage DUI (Driving Under the Influence) is a severe offense. It applies to any individual below the age of 21 who operates a motor vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.02% or higher, a limit significantly lower than the 0.08% for individuals who are aged 21 or over. The aim is to discourage underage drinking and driving, which carries significant inherent dangers.

Underage DUI convictions in Washington State can lead to the following potential consequences:

  • License Suspension: The offender's driving privileges may be suspended for at least 90 days.
  • Fines: Penalties can range anywhere from $350 to $5,000, depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident.
  • Jail Time: The offender may face up to 1 year in jail, depending on the case's specifics.
  • Probation Period: A probation period, typically ranging from 2 to 5 years, may be imposed.
  • Alcohol Education Programs: The convicted individual may be required to attend and successfully complete a state-approved alcohol education program.
