What is DUI With a Child Passenger?
In Nevada, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or greater. If you are pulled over and your BAC is above this limit, you will likely be arrested for DUI. If you are driving with a child under the age of 15 in the vehicle when you are arrested for DUI, you will also be charged with DUI with a child passenger, which is a separate and more serious offense.
Even if your BAC is under the legal limit, you could still be charged with DUI if the officer believes that your ability to operate the vehicle safely is compromised due to alcohol or drug consumption. If you are charged with DUI and are driving with a child passenger, the DUI charge will be enhanced, and you will face additional penalties.
