Pennsylvania's Zero Tolerance Law
Pennsylvania Zero Tolerance Law carries serious consequences for those under 21 convicted of driving with any amount of alcohol in their blood. For example, those under 21 convicted of driving under the influence with a .02 BAC, or greater, face a 12-to-18-month license suspension, 48 hours to six months in jail, and fines from $500 to $5,000.
In addition, a vehicle does not have to be involved for individuals under 21 to lose their driving privileges. Anyone under 21 convicted of consuming, possessing or transporting alcohol or lying about their age to obtain alcohol or carrying a fake ID, faces a fine of $500, plus court costs and a 90-day license suspension for the first offense.
