Drunk Driving Records

States and municipalities are getting tough on drunk driving. Penalties are increasing and police are more vigilant to get drunk drivers off the roads. In addition, there are many laws, which now allow officers to immediately take the driver's license of anyone who fails or refuses to take a breath test. While states differ on whether they treat a first offense DUI as a misdemeanor or a felony, both carry criminal records and will stay with an offender for life. Drunk driving records remain with an offender for varying periods as well. Some states retain that record for 10 years, others for as much as 75 years, and some states never let DUI convictions roll off a person's DMV record. Drivers under 21 cannot have any measurable amount of alcohol in their blood, while drivers over 21 can now have no more than .08%. Repeat offenders now have much heavier penalties and must attend DUI school in addition to other penalties.

Fast Facts
