Question

1) $500
2) $1000
3) $1500
4) Cannot be fixed

Answer 1

Penalties for a DUI conviction as a minor vary by state, and the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 requires the legal drinking age to be 21. It is not possible to provide the exact fine without knowing the state in question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 set the minimum legal drinking age to 21 and states that did not comply risked losing a portion of their federal highway funds. Penalties for individuals convicted of a DUI (driving under the influence) vary by state and can include fines, the suspension of driving privileges, community service, and mandatory attendance in educational programs. A minor (a person under the age of 17) convicted of a DUI could face different penalties depending on the state's laws. Without specifying the state, it is impossible to determine the exact fine for a minor convicted of a DUI, as the fines you listed may not be accurate or applicable to every state.
