DUI defense lawyers represent and defend those charged in NJ with an underage DUI, frequently called a “baby dui” or “baby dwi” because the offender is under the age of 21. Regardless of your age, a DUI/DWI charge is serious because it affects your driver’s license or your ability to obtain your license.

In New Jersey, someone under the age of 21 years old cannot operate a motor vehicle or boat with a BAC level of 0.01% or more. The problem is that a few sips of alcohol or a beer could easily put you over the 0.01% level. As a comparison, an adult would need a BAC of 0.08% or more to be driving under the influence.  

Mandatory Fines and Penalties for Underage DUI

  • 30-90 days loss of license. If you do not have a license yet, 30-90 days delay
  • $500 fine
  • IDRC fee
  • $100 Drunk Driving fund
  • $100 Alcohol Education and Rehab fund
  • $1,000 year surcharge for 3 years
  • $75 Safe Neighborhood fund
