Florida Underage DUI Laws

Florida has a strict zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving. If a driver under the age of 21 is found with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.02% or higher, they can be charged with DUI—even if they are well below the legal limit for adults.

Penalties can include:

• Driver’s license suspension for 6 months (1 year for second offense)
• Mandatory completion of DUI school
• Community service requirements
• Fines and administrative fees
• Possible ignition interlock device installation (if convicted)

While these penalties may seem less severe than adult DUI consequences, they can still have a lasting impact on college admissions, scholarships, employment, and insurance rates. That’s why immediate legal representation is essential.
