Underage DUI Offense in NJ
NJSA 39:4-50.14
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.
