Drunk Driving Record

Drunk driving is a moving violation that can have serious effects on a driver for years to come. Drunk driving can be considered either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the state in which the violation occurs. In some states, it means an automatic one-year license suspension. Refusing a blood alcohol test can also result in a serious charge and license suspension. In most states, drunk drivers face the additional penalty of having a drunk driving record that remains for at least ten years, in some cases 75 years, and in other states, for life. Every potential boss, every security check, and every insurance company will see that conviction for the years it remains on your record. That will result in increased insurance rates, and higher penalties for additional DUI convictions.

Fast Facts

  • If there are additional charges in conjunction with a DUI, such as injury to another person or damages to property, penalties escalate.
  • If your record remains clean for a period after your DUI, you may be able to get it expunged. Consult a lawyer to learn if and how this may be done.
