  3. The Laws In State of Utah The legal team at Jardine Law Offices understands why the state of Utah is tough on people who drink and drive. There is no way to deny that impaired drivers are a hazard on the roadway, hence the strict laws. For the latest reporting year in the state, impaired drivers were responsible for 13 percent of all traffic-related deaths on Utah roadways.

  4. Potential Consequences Of Being Convicted Of A DUI? A first offense has a maximum of 180 days in jail (2 mandatory), a $1,310 fine, and suspended license for 120 days. It also mandates a 1-year mandatory ignition interlock device if the blood-alcohol level was above .16%. ● A second offense has a maximum of 180 days in jail (10 mandatory), a $1,560 fine, and suspended license for 2 years. An ignition interlock device is required for 2 years. ● A third offense has a maximum of 5-year prison time (mandatory 62 days), a fine of $2,850, and suspended license for 2 years. An ignition interlock device is required for 2 years. ●

  5. A Note On Minors In Utah, we have what it called the “Not a Drop Law” which means that anyone under 21 can have no alcohol in their system, even if they are not impaired. This can lead to minors being charged with unlawful possession or consumption of alcohol by a minor even if they are below the limit allowed for those older than 21. These charges can follow a person for their entire lives, just like regular DUI charges.

  6.

The charges for these events carry more weight than typical DUI charges – often years in prison and tremendous fines.
