Last year my insur co told me that my DUI record would be removed when I renew policy this year - after 7 years - and I would get discounts accordingly. Now they tell me that new CA law states DUI stays on record for 10 years starting this year - including existing records that have not exprired already. Can someone confirm this? What I received from my insur co: "SB 597 extends from seven years to 10 years the time period an individual is ineligible for a good-driver discount following a conviction for drunk driving. This change is consistent with the change made in 2005 by SB 1694, which required all DUI convictions to remain on a violator's record for 10 years instead of seven."

What are the rules for Canadians with DUI/DWIs crossing into the states?

My bf was now formally convicted of DUI. He is Canadian I am American. I want to know if he can still cross into the states even though he now has been convicted. I have heard that people can and cant cross. I was reading about the laws and a DUI in the states is not considered a crime of moral turpitude, and can not bar entry into the US. Can some one clear this up for me? I just want him to come down for the 4th of July. :(

He is sorry for what he has done. He is not allowed to drive for a year. But I can come up and get him and take him down if he is allowed across. I know most people will judge him and say he is a loser blah blah blah, but I will stand by his side. No one is perfect. I don't hate him for his mistakes, though it makes me disappointed. I am a survivor of a drunk driver who was never caught as far as I know. I don't hold grudges and hope that justice is some day served.

I have already paid my lawyer. Already have the sr22 and insurance went up / month (switched companies). Im almost done with my 30 day suspension and have sent everything necessary for the 60 day hardship. My main question is how much in fines, court, restitution, satop classes? Also what kind of satop? Please only answer from experience don't send me a link or tell me how awful i am. Thanks to anyone who can help!

I have a leased vehicle, but my insurance wont cover me!?

I leased a car in June, almost a year after I had a DUI. Unbeknownst to me, starting with my new renewal date (mid-december), no insurance company will offer me full coverage now. It took a year and a half to show up, but now it's there, and I have a leased vehicle, that I can't get full coverage on. What should I do, and what's going to happen to me?

Must a Police Officer tow your car after writing you a DUI?

Posted by on . 7 comments.

In Illinois, I would like to know if a police officer must tow your car after writing you a D.U.I. As a police officer, I have heard that its state law to tow the vehicle even if their is a responsible driver available because there is a mandatory hold period. If anyone knows for for sure, please let me know and also cite the section in Illinois Law where it states your answer. I will need this to prove my case one way or another on this issue. Thanks!
I know what they usually do...I just need to know what it says in Illinois law says to do..
