DUI – Under 21
Posted on 04. Dec, 2009 by Robert Horlick in DUI - Under 21, GA DUI Law
Because of Georgia’s “Zero Tolerance” Laws, drivers under 21 charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI), in violation of O.C.G.A. 40-6-391(k), face more stringent penalties than drivers of legal drinking age charged with DUI.
In order for the State to establish that a driver under the age of 21 is guilty of Driving Under the Influence, they must prove that he or she was under the age of 21, and drove or was in actual physical control of a moving vehicle, with an alcohol concentration of 0.02% (determined by breathalyzer, or blood or urine test) or more at any time within three (3) hours after driving, from alcohol consumed before such driving ended.
If you have been charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and you are under 21, please contact Horlick Law Firm immediately for a free case evaluation and consultation. We will do all that the law allows to defend you and protect your rights, privileges, and future.
