3. Newman, Matthew: ou are in danger of receiving a DUI or Driving Under the Influence in the state of Arizona if you are behind the wheel of a motor vehicle and you have a blood alcohol level of .08% or higher within 2 hours of driving. You might also be charged with DUI if your driving ability is found to be even slightly impaired as the result of alcohol or other drugs. A blood alcohol reading of greater than .15% is considered extreme according to the law. Upon your arrest for a DUI offense, the officer should have issued you a copy of the Admin Per Se/Implied Consent Form. Upon receipt of this form you have 15 days from the date of the offense to request a hearing regarding the suspension of your driving privileges. If you do not request a hearing, your driving privileges will automatically be suspended after the 15 day period for 90 days. A simple letter from your attorney to the Arizona Department of Transportation will protect your rights and give you the opportunity to keep your driving privileges in effect while your criminal case is being resolved.

Minimum 24 hours in jail to 45 days, for 1st time offenders depending on what the police can prove on what a drivers blood alcohol content was. Further, if a person if convicted of any DUI the Arizona DMV shall mandate a Certified Interlock Device (a breathalyzer in your car) on any vehicle a person operates for ONE YEAR! If your not an Arizona driver, the Arizona DMV may inform your home State DMV of your arrest and your home State may take action on your license for the arrest alone. Your troubles shall increase if you were convicted of prior DUI (from any State) within 7 years of the current offense.
