About West Valley City DUI Charges
Utah has harsh laws associated with driving under the influence of alcohol. Most notably, the blood alcohol level threshold is 0.05 rather than the 0.08 used in the rest of the nation. There are many long-term consequences associated with a Utah DUI conviction. You may lose your driving privileges for up to 18 months–even on a first offense (depending on your circumstances). You may be allowed to have a restricted driving license once you install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle at your expense.
Utah also has an alcohol-restricted driver statute. This statute states that you will be classified as an “alcohol-restricted driver” for two years after your first DUI conviction or ten years for a second offense. This means you will be prohibited from driving any vehicle with any amount of alcohol in your system. You could also find it difficult to obtain employment following a DUI conviction, mainly if your job requires you to drive. You will be restricted from entering Canada for ten years, and the financial impact a DUI can have on your life is no small matter. If you have been charged with a DUI, it is important that you speak to a West Valley City DUI attorney from Conyers & Nix as quickly as possible.
