The .02 - Drunk Driving Under the Age of 21

Our Tampa DUI lawyers and attorneys have seen a wide variety of cases for a wide variety of people. Some of these cases are for minors and others for adults, but under the age of 21. Florida has a zero tolerance policy for drinking and driving under the age of 21. If you are charged with driving under the influence while below the age of 21, there are serious consequences. The state takes an extremely harsh attitude in these cases and you could face even stricter reactions from judges than your older counterparts. Having a qualified Tampa DUI lawyer advocating for you can help you defend your rights under the law.

Florida has a zero tolerance policy for drinking and driving under the age of 21. A ".02 violation" is when you have over a .02 BAC level. If you are over 21, you can have a .08. Under the age of 21, the Florida statutes, with their zero tolerance policy, state that even a .02 BAC is too much. However, this is not a criminal matter with jailtime, this is an administrative suspension of the drivers license. If you wish to fight this, it is vital that you act quickly. Our Tampa DUI attorneys can work to help you in these cases, but we will have to consult with you quickly to ensure a speedy result. However, it is important to remember that driving under the influence is never a good idea. Our Tampa DUI lawyers would admonish you to refrain from partaking prior to driving under the best of circumstances...and certainly for any drivers under the age of 21.

Again, we hope that you will never need a Tampa DUI lawyer or attorney, but should you find yourself in that situation, we hope that you will contact our offices and prevent a bad situation from turning worse.
