Underage DWI

If a person who is under the legal drinking age is convicted of DWI, the penalties are extremely harsh.

If convicted for driving or boating with a BAC of .01% or higher and the offender is under the age of 21, the penalties include a suspension of license for 30 to 90 days. Dependent upon the situation, 15 to 30 days of community service, alcohol education, a highway safety program at the Intoxicated Driver Resource center. The ability of a skilled New Jersey DWI lawyer may be able to help minimize the penalties – or best case, have the charges dismissed.

If under the age of 17 with no license while drinking and driving, you could face 30 to 90 day delay in receiving your permanent driver’s license.
