Underaged DWI
If you’ve been charged with a felony, contact me in Knoxville to discuss your defense options. Together, we can build a strategy to protect your rights and future.
Underaged DWI vs. DUI
Underaged DWI is a lesser included offense of "traditional" DUI charges in Tennessee.
DUI laws in Tennessee wisely differentiate between drivers who are under 21 and those who are 21 or older.
For adults, the legal limit for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08%. However, for drivers under 21, Tennessee has a much lower legal limit of .02%.
Understanding Underaged DWI Charges
Penalties for Underage DUI
Although the penalties for an underage DUI in Tennessee are significant, they vary in important aspects from an "adult" DUI.
A conviction for an underage DUI can result in:
A one-year license suspension, a fine of up to $250, and possible community service.
Conviction can impact future job opportunities, security clearances, college applications, and more.
Perhaps the most important difference is that Underage DUI in Tennessee does not have statutory jail time and probation the way an adult DUI does.
