How does a Utah Resident Becomes an Alcohol Restricted Driver?

There are basically two different ways to become classified as an alcohol-restricted driver in Utah. Under 21 DUI offenses automatically classify as alcohol-restricted drivers due the age of the driver. Residents over 21 can become classified as alcohol-restricted drivers as a result of a DUI offense, impaired driving, refusal to submit to a chemical test, ignition interlock device violations and alcohol restricted driver violations.

Penalties for Alcohol Restricted Drivers

Under no circumstances can a alcohol restricted driver in Utah drive a vehicle with any measurable or detectable amount of alcohol in their system.
