What you need to know about DUI among teens

On Behalf of Michael J. Griffith, P.A. | Nov 15, 2021 | DUI |

Drunk driving is a serious issue in Florida, and it’s not uncommon to see DUI arrests involving teenagers. Why do teens get involved in DUI incidents, and is it possible to reduce or prevent these cases?

Why do teens get involved in DUI incidents?

There are many factors that can contribute to drunk driving among teens. Part of it has to do with the fact that alcohol is easily accessible and sometimes seen as a rite of passage in youth groups. DUI incidents can be a result of peer pressure or an attempt to impress others. Some teens may even get involved in DUI cases simply because they feel confident behind the wheel after drinking, which is never a good idea.

Reducing and preventing DUI among teenagers

While it’s difficult to completely eliminate DUI cases involving teenagers, there are ways to reduce their occurrence. For example, parents can take the time to teach young drivers about DUI laws and the consequences that come with them before handing over car keys. Teens should also learn how much alcohol is too much when it comes to drinking prior to driving.

Tackling DUI cases involving teenagers requires a multi-faceted approach. Besides parents, other adults in the community should work together to reduce DUI incidents among young drivers. For instance, DUI organizations can work with schools to raise awareness about the consequences of driving under the influence.

Intoxicated driving is always dangerous and can lead to serious consequences for teens who get involved in DUI incidents. Fortunately, parents and other adults can help reduce drunk driving among young drivers through education and awareness initiatives aimed at teens.
