Under 21 DUI & DWI
A driver who is under the legal drinking age (under 21) faces different laws and penalties associated with DUI, DWI and OUI. Depending upon the state, an underage driver may not drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01% or higher. Many states follow "Zero Tolerance" laws in regards to drivers who are under 21. This means that they cannot have any amount of alcohol in their blood - basically that they cannot drink and drive whatsoever.
Under 21 DUI and DWI charges are serious. A driver under 21 may face underage DUI penalties as well as regular criminal penalties associated with driving under the influence.
