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

"I have recommended Joe to family members and would recommend him to you."
I was a passenger in a car when we were t-boned by an out of state driver. I spent nearly four months in the hospital and the doctors weren’t sure I was going to make it. Joe personally fought for me and discovered multiple insurance policies out there to help me get the money I needed after going through this horrible ordeal. I have recommended him to family members and would recommend him to you.

"He was frank and honest about my options. I finally felt like I had someone who really cared about my health and well-being."
I highly recommend Joseph A. Lazzara for personal injury cases. After hiring another well-known personal injury law firm, who offered horrible advice, I sought his second opinion. He was frank and honest about my options. I finally felt like I had someone who really cared about my health and well-being. He settled my case and I couldn't have been happier. Mr. Lazzara is extremely knowledgeable, confident and has an exemplary reputation.

- Former Client
"He found out that the officer was not properly certified and that the lab screwed up my blood test results. He WON."
I hired Joseph A. Lazzara for my second DUI. I was scared because I screwed up. Joe Lazzara put my mind at ease and immediately began investigating the case. He found out that the officer was not properly certified and that the lab screwed up my blood test results. I thought for sure I would lose my driver's license for 2 years. He WON. We then went to trial and he tore apart the police officer and the expert from the lab. The jury came back not guilty in 30 minutes. Joseph Lazzara WON my criminal and DMV case. He saved my job and my family. I don't know what I would've done without him. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOSEPH A. LAZZARA AGAIN AND AGAIN.

- Former Client
"The one thing I can say is he was very thorough and knew more about DUIs than even the police officer or DA."
He fought for me the entire way and ultimately won my case at trial. The one thing I can say is he was very thorough and knew more about DUIs than even the police officer or DA. Pros: Knowledgeable and a Fighter Cons: NONE

Joe Lazzara got the results I wanted. He handled my case with compassion, and was very experienced and confident in the courtroom. He is a straight shooter and someone you can trust. I know I did and I do not regret it at all. I would recommend him to anyone.

"Pros: The best legal defense you are going to find anywhere."
My daughter got cross ways with the local police department and it was bumped up to the county level. Mr. Lazzara worked on her case for approximately 9 months and got the 5 original charges reduced to 1 charge, a reasonable and workable solution. I would recommend Mr. Lazzara without hesitation if you find yourself up against the 'system'. He is absolutely your best choice. Pros: The best legal defense you are going to find anywhere. Cons: Absolutely NONE!!!!
