Understanding Underage DUI in Tennessee

In Tennessee, underage DUI refers to the offense committed by individuals under the age of 21 who operate a motor vehicle with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system. This means that even a small amount of alcohol can lead to serious consequences for underage drivers. The legal limit for adults (21 and older) in Tennessee is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08%, but for individuals under 21, the threshold is significantly lower at 0.02%.

The Impact of an Underage DUI Conviction

An underage DUI conviction can have far-reaching consequences for a young person's future. These consequences may include:

• Criminal Record: A DUI conviction can result in a permanent criminal record that can affect college admissions, job opportunities, and housing applications.
• Driver's License Suspension: A first-time offense can lead to a one-year driver's license suspension, making it challenging to commute to school or work.
• Increased Insurance Rates: Insurance premiums often skyrocket after a DUI conviction, placing a financial burden on the individual and their family.
• Educational and Career Opportunities: Many educational institutions and employers may hesitate to accept applicants with a DUI conviction on their record.
