Can You Be Charged With Underage DUI for Drugs, Not Just Alcohol?

Answer

A driver under 21 can face a DUI allegation involving drug impairment. The video explains that the special under-21 alcohol threshold does not create a separate age-based drug concentration limit; drug cases focus on impairment.

The special under-21 zero-tolerance threshold discussed in this video concerns alcohol. Drug impairment can also support a DUI allegation, but it is not governed by a separate age-based drug concentration limit.

The video emphasizes that turning 21 does not create permission to use an otherwise illegal drug. A DUI drugs case focuses on the evidence of impaired driving.
