Do You Need a Juvenile MVD Attorney in Scottsdale?
A finding of delinquency in Arizona will affect a juvenile's driver license, even if the offense is not directly related to driving. The Arizona State Legislature has determined that a juvenile's privilege to drive will be taken away under the following circumstances:
| Offense | Suspension Period |
| Minor in Possession of Alcohol (1st Offense) – A.R.S. § 4-244(9) | Court ordered, up to 180 days |
| Minor in Possession of Alcohol (2nd or Subsequent Offenses) – A.R.S. § 4-244(9) | Court ordered, 2 years or until 18th Birthday |
| Minor Drinking & Driving – A.R.S. § 4-244(33) | 2 years |
| DUI or Extreme DUI – A.R.S. § 28-1381 | 2 years |
| Aggravated DUI – A.R.S. § 28-1383 | 3 years |
| Criminal Damage/Defacing Property – A.R.S. §13-602(A)(1) | Until 18th Birthday |
| Aggravated Criminal Damage – A.R.S. §13-604(A) | Until 18th Birthday |
| Graffiti – A.R.S. §13-1602(A)(5) | Until 18th Birthday |
| Possession of any tools used for Graffiti | Until 18th Birthday |
| Theft – A.R.S. § 13-1802 | Until 18th Birthday |
| Theft of Means of Transportation – A.R.S. § 13-1814 | Until 18th Birthday |
| Unlawful Use of Means of Transportation – A.R.S. § 13-1803 | Until 18th Birthday |
| Drug Offenses – Title 13, Chapter 34 | Until 18th Birthday |
Even civil or other criminal traffic offenses will result in penalties for the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD). If the driver is under the age of 18 years, a first violation will result in the driver being ordered to attend Traffic Survival School. A second violation, before the age of 18 years, will result in a 3 month suspension of the driver's license. A third or subsequent violation, before the age of 18 years, will result in a 6 month suspension of the driver's license.
