Frequently Asked Questions
Under A.R.S. § 28-1381, the legal blood alcohol concentration limit is 0.08% for drivers 21 and over, 0.04% for commercial vehicle drivers, and 0.00% for drivers under 21. Arizona also has an 'impaired to the slightest degree' standard — you can be charged with DUI even below 0.08% if a Central Phoenix officer believes your driving was impaired. An experienced Central Phoenix DUI attorney can challenge these charges.
A first-offense standard DUI under A.R.S. § 28-1381 in Arizona carries: a minimum 10 consecutive days in jail (9 can be suspended with completion of treatment), fines and fees exceeding $1,500, a 90-day license suspension, mandatory ignition interlock device, and DUI screening. Extreme DUI under A.R.S. § 28-1382 carries a minimum 30 days in jail. A Central Phoenix DUI attorney can work to minimize these penalties.
Aggravated DUI under A.R.S. § 28-1383 is a class 4 felony in Arizona triggered when: a DUI occurs on a suspended license, you have two prior DUI convictions within 84 months, a passenger under 15 is in the vehicle, or you are driving the wrong way. A felony DUI conviction in Central Phoenix can result in prison time and permanent criminal record. Contact a Central Phoenix DUI defense attorney immediately.
Arizona's implied consent law under A.R.S. § 28-1321 means that driving on Arizona roads constitutes consent to chemical testing if lawfully arrested. Refusing a breathalyzer results in automatic license suspension of 12 months for a first refusal and 24 months for a second. However, a Central Phoenix DUI attorney may be able to challenge whether the initial traffic stop or arrest was lawful.
In Arizona, a DUI conviction is counted as a 'prior offense' for purposes of enhanced penalties under A.R.S. § 28-1383 for 84 months (7 years).
