DUI While Operating a Company Vehicle

Driving under the influence, or DUI, is a very serious charge in the state of Arizona. If you are charged with DUI, you could be facing expensive fines and other legal penalties that can affect your personal and professional life for years to come. A DUI can have an especially negative impact if you are charged with DUI while operating a company-owned vehicle. If your job requires that you drive a vehicle and you are charged with DUI, you may face incredibly serious consequences beyond those that are court-ordered, including the loss of your job.

Arizona’s Legal Penalties

Depending on the severity of a person’s DUI charge, his or her penalties may vary. If a DUI charge is a person’s first and involved no property or physical damage, the DUI may only be charged as a misdemeanor. However, if someone has prior DUI charges or convictions, or if substantial damage was caused, a convicted individual may face:

  • Mandatory electronic monitoring
  • Monetary fines
  • Jail / prison time
  • Loss or suspension of license

In addition to these court-ordered penalties, an individual may also face professional consequences as a result of a DUI conviction, especially if the alleged incident occurred in a company vehicle. If an individual is accused of DUI while driving a company vehicle, he or she may face a loss of work-privileges or termination.
