New Jersey Underage DUI laws as well as fines and penalties differ from those imposed on drunk drivers over the age of 21. Therefore it is 
important to consult with a New Jersey Underage DUI Lawyer If you are under 21 years old and are convicted for driving or boating with a BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) of .01% or higher, you can expect the following penalties:
- 30–90 day license suspension
- Possible combination of the minimum sentences above and select DUI Mandatory Fines and Penalties, depending on the situation
- 15–30 days mandatory community service
- Participation in alcohol education and highway safety programs at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center
- If you are unlicensed and under 17 years of age at the time of the incident, you are subject to a 30–90 day delay in processing your driver license.
For underage drunk driving cases in New Jersey the fines are often lower, but the threshold for being convicted is lower as well. For drivers who are 21 and above, the legal limit is a BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) of .08% or higher whereas for a person underage of 21 the prosecution must only show a trace amount of alcohol with a BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) of .01% or higher.
