Question 3

In Arizona, what is the look-back period used to determine repeat DUI offenses?

Arizona uses a 7-year look-back period, meaning a prior DUI within the past 7 years elevates a new offense to a repeat/aggravated charge.

Question 4

Driving under the influence of marijuana in Arizona is:

Accepted Answer

Illegal and prosecutable as a DUI regardless of card status

Arizona law prohibits driving while impaired by any drug, including marijuana, even for medical cardholders — impairment is what matters, not authorization.

Automatic DUI violation based solely on meeting or exceeding the legal BAC limit

DUI per se means that meeting or exceeding the 0.08% BAC threshold is itself a crime, regardless of whether the driver showed visible signs of impairment.
