It’s easy to understand why visitors would flock to Peoria, given its beautiful natural scenery, proximity to Phoenix, and abundance of tourist attractions. There are also numerous colleges in Arizona, attracting people from all over the country and the world. However, if you are an out-of-state visitor caught driving under the influence, you face the consequences under Arizona’s laws and your home state laws.
An out-of-state DUI is also called a “foreign DUI.” Arizona is well-known to have some of the harshest DUI laws and penalties in the country, so there is a very good chance that Arizona’s punishments will be more severe than those in your home state. However, you will likely be liable for Arizona’s consequences and those in your home state.
Arizona has a quirky way of penalizing out-of-state drivers accused of a DUI. Upon being accused of a DUI, the Arizona MVD will issue you an Arizona driver’s license so they can enforce penalties. First, if you are an out-of-state driver convicted for a standard DUI under Arizona law, it falls under the category of being a class 1 misdemeanor. This can involve fines up to $1,500 plus surcharges and spending at least one day in jail. You will also have to face additional fines, license suspension, and additional consequences in your home state. If you are an out-of-state visitor with prior driving convictions, Arizona will likely increase the severity of its penalties.
You will want to do everything you can to avoid having to comply with two sets of penalties and requirements.
