DUI Rules

same in FL, i believe it is worded as "any criminal driving offenses do not ever come off"
but like was mentioned above, you can pay a lawyer several thousand to have one of them expunged or removed under MOST cercumstances. (google expunging a DUI)

 

I DO know what I am talking about....

 

Responders have all said "the carriers insurance won't allow it." But this prompts the question, why are insurers so vindictive against past DUIs ?? From an insurance companies' perspective, they evaluate why a person would even drive while intoxicated. Unbeknown to most drivers, insurance companies are skeptical of drivers convicted of "open containers" conviction. Some insurers equate this with "DUI" convictions. Insurers use logic and deductive reasoning, in answering the question as to what an open-container and/or DUI conviction mean. They both imply the person is quite possibly an alcoholic substance abuser. Past accident statistic data on automobiles had shown that people with alcohol-related convictions have a much likelihood of being involved in a chargeable accident. Until your DUI convictions come off your driving record, insurers perceive you as an extremely high-risk driver. Even if you go 5 years with no further alcohol-related convictions, so long as its on your driving record, its an ominous sign that you're possibly an alcoholic heavy drinker.

 

Because most are repeat offenders.

 

i know in montana all the tickets i have ever recieved are still on my MVR...as far back as 1994

dui's are normally a deal breaker...but some will take the chance....just look around

 

No you don't. In Wisconsin for example, if your DWI occurred after January 1,1989, your DWI will remain on your record for the rest of your natural life. Period.

I'm sorry, I should rephrase that.

It will remain on your record well after your death.

I just wish you would bet me some money on that. I know what I'm talking about first-hand.

 

You might be getting mixed up with what the public can see and what the government can see.

 

He might also be comparing the laws of Michigan to the laws of Wisconsin thinking they would be the same.

 

Good points fellas. Each state may in fact have different policies regarding how long a dui stays on someones records. I know that for police purposes any and all violations stay on the official record for Law Enforcement Personnel indefinitely. For some states the dmv seems to have a 3 year report a 5 year report and a 10 year report you may purchase.
