Nevada DUI Laws for Offenders Under 21

Nevada DUI Laws for Offenders Under 21 Nevada DUI laws specifically indicate the exact amount of alcohol content in your blood that would lead you to a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) case. Generally, once your blood alcohol content goes 0.08% or higher, you are already committing a drunk-driving offense. Under Nevada DUI laws, however, you can still be arrested for drunk-driving even if your blood alcohol content goes lower than that. This is when you are not merely driving under the influence of alcohol but of other intoxicating substances that are prohibited. Most of the time, these would lead you to a more serious conviction. If you are under the age of 21, Nevada DUI laws limit the blood alcohol content to 0.02%.

If proven that your blood alcohol content goes beyond that limit, you will be facing DUI charges against the District Attorney and when you do, prepare to pay various evaluation and reinstatement fees as well as attorney’s charges if you decide to counter the complaints on your own means. Otherwise, your driver’s license shall be revoked as soon as you are arrested and you shall be able to reinstate this after 90 days. That time, you will have to pay $65 for the reinstatement fees. Immediately after, you will be subjected to a chemical test where you would have to pay $60. All these and you are not yet convicted. If you already are, expect to pay $100 for an alcohol evaluation and a fine that would range from $400 to $1000. These rates are applicable if you are a first-time offender and are thus subject to change depending on the frequency of your offense.
