If you get a DUI at 17, you may face serious legal consequences, including fines, license suspension or revocation, mandatory alcohol education classes, community service, and even jail time. The specific penalties will depend on the state in which you received the DUI and your prior driving record. Additionally, a DUI on your record can have long-term consequences, such as difficulty finding employment, higher car insurance rates, and potential limitations on your ability to travel to certain countries. In some cases, a DUI at 17 may be prosecuted in a juvenile court.
