DUI in a School Zone
In recent years, law enforcement officials have cracked down on finding and arresting drivers who they believe are driving under the influence (DUI). There are both federal and state laws against driving under the influence, and if someone is pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, they may be arrested and face serious consequences. The consequences may be even more severe if someone is accused of DUI in a school zone.
A DUI charge can impact every aspect of your life. You may feel like you have no one to turn to but you are not alone during this difficult time. To speak with a qualified attorney about fighting a DUI charge, contact an Arizona DUI lawyer with Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., today at 602-510-9999 and schedule an initial consultation.
Consequences of a DUI
Law enforcement officials are extremely aggressive in looking for and pulling over those who they suspect of driving under the influence in a school zone. If you have been accused of DUI in a school zone you may face increased consequences such as:
- Longer time in prison
- Heftier fines than a normal DUI
- Suspended driver’s license for a longer period of time
- Alcohol awareness courses
DUI charges can also affect your ability to find a job in the future, so it is important that anyone accused of DUI do everything they can to fight these charges.
