Arizona DUI Laws

By: Cary B | Posted: 30th October 2008

While state DUI laws have many similarities, understanding the specifics of the laws in the state where you are driving will help you if you are ever accused of driving under the influence. In the state of Arizona, DUI laws state that you can be arrested for drunk driving based on your driving pattern or your blood alcohol level. The state's laws state that it is illegal to drive with a BAC of .08% or higher.

If you are pulled over for suspicion of DUI, you will have to surrender your license. You will be given a 15-day temporary license. During those 15 days you must file a request to have a Motor Vehicles Division hearing. If you do not request the hearing, your license will be suspended. At the hearing you may be granted a provisional license that allows you to drive for work or education purposes.

First time DUI offenders in Arizona will also face fines, possible jail time, and possible probation. You will spend between one and ten days in jail, and you will pay a $250 fine, plus $500 assessment charges and any court fees or surcharges. Your arrest will cost you well over $1,000. You may be placed on probation and will probably have to attend alcohol treatment classes.
