When it comes to felony aggravated DUI, Arizona has more serious laws in place than the laws that govern and sentence the charges you would face under any other misdemeanor DUI charge.

A felony aggravated DUI charge under Arizona laws can often involve more than one charged offense, and any conviction of these offenses can therefore result in more than one quite severe penalty, including:

-Mandatory prison time for any first time offender
-Probation of up to ten (10) years
-The installation of an ignition interlock system on any vehicle you operate
-A criminal record that can result in the inability to own or possess a firearm.

Having been charged with a felony aggravated DUI is by no means the end of the story — a jury will have to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty of every charge levied against you, and with a felony aggravated DUI in Phoenix, that typically means the prosecutor’s job is a little harder than in a straightforward misdemeanor DUI case because there are additional charge elements and factors.

While the vast majority of DUIs in Arizona are charges relating to people pulled over with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level over 0.08 for the first time and without any further legal complications, there are some Arizona DUI designations that apply to those who have been charged with DUIs before, or who are driving on a suspended license. 

A felony DUI in Arizona is also sometimes referred to as an aggravated DUI, and that’s because it typically means the driver has three or more DUI charges at the time of the arrest. 

In other cases, the driver may have been charged with an aggravated DUI because s/he was driving under the influence while his or her license was already suspended or revoked as the result of some other prior charge.

In Arizona law, the legal definition of wrong-way driving is outlined in A.R.S. §28-694. This statute specifically addresses the act of operating a vehicle in opposition to the designated flow of traffic on controlled access highways.

According to this law, a driver who is found traveling against the correct direction of traffic commits the offense known as wrong-way driving.

Individuals found guilty of this violation are subject to a civil penalty, which is set at $500.

Additionally, those convicted are required to complete educational sessions at an approved traffic survival school, aimed at reinforcing safe driving habits and enhancing overall road safety.

The statute defines “wrong way” as vehicular movement in a direction that contradicts the legal flow of traffic, explicitly excluding actions such as crossing the median or situations where a vehicle ends up facing the wrong direction due to a collision, provided there was no intentional wrong-way driving involved.

Can You Reduce a DUI Charge to Reckless Driving in Arizona?

You’ve probably seen DUI checkpoints set up by law enforcement to catch impaired drivers and deter drunk driving. But did you know there’s a strategy known as a phantom DUI checkpoint?

Unlike traditional sobriety checkpoints where vehicles are stopped and drivers are checked for signs of intoxication, phantom checkpoints use signs and the visible presence of police vehicles to create the illusion of an active checkpoint.

Understanding the concept of phantom DUI checkpoints, their legal standing, and your rights when encountering them can help you handle these situations more effectively.

Driving under the influence is a serious offense that can have severe consequences, both legally and personally.

But when a DUI also involves child endangerment, the stakes are raised even higher. In cases where a driver is not only under the influence of drugs or alcohol but also has a child in the vehicle, dual charges of DUI and child endangerment can lead to harsh penalties including a felony conviction.

Driving under the influence with a minor in the vehicle is considered an aggravated DUI under Arizona law. According to A.R.S. § 28-1383(A)(3), this offense is classified as a Class 6 felony, which carries more severe penalties than a standard DUI.

DUI and Child Endangerment: Dual Charges and Defense Tactics

Visit Full page: https://arjashahlaw.com/blog/arizonas-legal-bac-limits/

If you have a BAC of 0.08% or above, you are per se considered driving under the influence (for non-commercial drivers age 21 or over). Arizona law (ARS 28-1381(A)(2)) makes it unlawful to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle if your BAC is 0.08% or more within two hours of driving.

In practice, this means if you take a breath or blood test and it comes out 0.08 or above, that alone can establish the DUI offense (assuming the test is done within two hours of when you were driving).

The 0.08% BAC limit is the same used in all 50 states, with the exception of Utah, where it is 0.05%. For most people, reaching 0.08% would require more than one drink – typically, 2 to 3 drinks in a short period could get an average adult to 0.08%, but as we discussed, it varies by person.
