FAQ
Arizona DUI penalties for a standard DUI offense are severe, even for first-time offenders. A first-time DUI conviction mandates a jail sentence of 10 days, which is a clear demonstration of the state's tough stance on impaired driving. Additionally, offenders are subject to a minimum fine of approximately $1,250.
Drunk driving suspects can expect to spend at least two hours answering questions, being fingerprinted and photographed, and submitting to chemical testing of the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC). A driver could spend a few hours before they are released, or it may take up to a few days.
Once you've been arrested for DUI, the state of Arizona suspends your driver's license immediately for 90 days.
The punishment for a first DUI varies by state but often includes fines, license suspension, probation, mandatory alcohol education, and possibly community service. Jail time is rare for first offenses but may apply in cases of high blood alcohol content or accidents.
First-time offenders face a mandatory jail sentence ranging from 45 consecutive days to as long as six months. Fines for Super Extreme DUI are notably higher than those for Extreme DUI. Additionally, the period for which an ignition interlock device must be installed in the offender's vehicle is extended.
The penalties listed above are criminal punishments that come along with a DUI conviction. However, there are also “administrative” penalties associated with a DUI arrest. For example, anyone arrested for a first-time DUI in Arizona will automatically have their driver's license suspended for 90 days.
