Underage DUI Laws & Penalties in Colorado

In Colorado, it is illegal for individuals under the age of 21 to consume or possess alcohol. The state has a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving, imposing strict penalties for those who violate these laws.

If an underage driver has a blood alcohol content (BAC) between .02 and .05 percent, they can be charged with underage drinking and driving (UDD), punishable by a fine of up to $100, driver's license suspension for 3 months, alcohol education programs, and community service.

If an underage driver has a BAC between more than .05 percent but less than .08 percent, they can be charged with driving while ability impaired (DWAI), which carries a jail term of up to 180 days and a maximum fine of $500.

If an underage driver has a BAC of at least .08 percent, they will be charged with a standard DUI as if they were an adult.

Understanding the Consequences of Underage DUI

Being charged with an underage DUI can have serious consequences that can impact your future. In Colorado, the legal limit for drivers under 21 is much lower than for adults, and the penalties for a conviction can be severe. It's important to understand the potential consequences of an underage DUI, including:

Driver's license suspension
Fines and court costs
Possible jail time
Impact on college admissions and scholarships
Increased insurance rates

"Result that I never dreamed was possible."
Joseph Lazzara obtained an amazing result on my case. I was nervous and scared because I screwed up, but he put my mind at ease, went to work, and I was shocked when he was able to get my case resolved with a result that I never dreamed was possible.

"He was knowledgeable, nonjudgmental and so I hired him. At court, everyone knew him and he fought for me."
I read Joe Lazzara's reviews and checked him out with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and with Tom Martino the Troubleshhoter. Not only does he have a A+ Gold Star rating with the BBB but Tom Martino personally endorses Joe Lazzara. I met with him as well as several other DUI attorneys in Denver. He was knowledgeable, nonjudgmental and so I hired him. At court, everyone knew him and he fought for me. Ultimately he was able to get me a deferred judgement and even won my DMV hearing. I am super pleased with Joe Lazzara and would refer him to anyone and everyone. Joe Lazzara is a great attorney, who will fight for you on a DUI.

"I previously had another attorney and was looking at a year in jail. After firing my lawyer, I decided to hire Joe Lazzara. He set my case for trial and fought for me."
I was facing my third DUI offense. I previously had another attorney and was looking at a year in jail. After firing my lawyer, I decided to hire Joe Lazzara. He set my case for trial, fought for me and ultimately I pled to a non-alcohol related offense, a minor traffic offense. No jail. Whether you are guilty of making a mistake like I did, or innocent, hire Joe Lazzara. Having a good lawyer on your side makes all the difference in the world. I highly recommend Joe.

"He guided me through the long process with a VERY fair and agreeable outcome."
Joseph Lazzara could not have been more professional, knowledgeable, and communicative. Even in a very difficult situation, Joseph was a pleasure to work with. He guided me through the long process with a VERY fair and agreeable outcome. He found out that the officer was not properly certified and that the lab screwed up my blood test results. I highly recommend his services.

"Great Attorney. Great result. I highly recommend Joe."
Joe Lazzara did a great job for me. I was involved in an automobile accident and was seriously hurt. Joe took on my case and provided personal attention to it. It was not like those big PI firms on TV but I dealt with him and his staff on a regular basis. He had my best interests at heart. Ultimately we settled my case for $300,000 more than the insurance company initially offered. Great result. I highly recommend Joe.
