Virginia Under 21 DUI Penalties

Virginia DUI laws for those under 21 are about to change. As of July 1, 2008, the "baby DUI" law penalties will become much stricter.

Under this new law, the penalty for any measurable alcohol in your system (.02% BAC) if you are under the legal drinking age in Virginia (21) will result in a 1 year license suspension, and either a minimum $500 fine, or a minimum of 50 hours of community service to be performed.

This is categorized as a Class 1 Misdemeanor, the same as an over 21 Virginia DUI (with .08% BAC).
