Key Insights into Maryland's Underage DUI Regulations
Anyone underage driver convicted of a DUI faces two types of consequences. Their license will be suspended by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) for up to six months for a first DUI offense, with subsequent DUIs resulting in longer suspensions. Following this, there will be criminal punishments.
Criminal sanctions for underage DUI are decided by a Maryland Court or Juvenile Court depending on whether the offender is a minor. Maryland has no mandatory minimum sentences which means the judge can consider other mitigating and aggravating factors such as whether or not it was a first offense, the blood alcohol level, results of field sobriety tests.
Those under 21 can also be charged with the following in addition to a DUI:
- Distributing alcohol to other minors
- Minor in possession
- Soliciting alcohol
- Child endangerment
- Possession of false identification
