If you’re facing Super Extreme DUI in Arizona
The one-tier reduction from Super Extreme to Extreme DUI saves 5 actual jail days at the floor (Super Extreme requires 14, Extreme requires 9). The IID drops from 18 months to 12 months, saving 6 months of device fees (typically $500 to $600) and 6 months on the sealing clock. The fine tier drops from the highest C1M level to the second-highest, which saves several hundred dollars depending on local assessments.
Combined with full jail costs waived at sentencing, this case captures three compounding benefits from the one-tier reduction: shorter custody time, shorter IID period, and lower out-of-pocket costs.
