Q: 16 yr old underage son license suspended for DUI in Kansas
They gave him 30 days suspension, 180 days restriction with an interlock. Is this common for the interlock to be given to a minor that blew 0.03?
A: In Kansas, it is relatively uncommon for a minor with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.03 to be subjected to an interlock device, especially considering the legal limit for individuals under the age of 21 is 0.02. In the case of a 16-year-old whose license was suspended for DUI, the imposed penalty of a 30-day suspension and 180-day restriction with an interlock device is stricter than typical consequences for underage DUI. While consequences for DUI cases involving minors can vary, such penalties may be influenced by individual circumstances, prior offenses, or the specific details of the case.
