DUI - Dealing With the Repercussions
According information given by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, as of January 1, 2007, if you request an out-of-house / public driving record printout, any DUI offense on your record will appear for 10 years from the violation date. If you have driver’s license, you have already implied your consent to this test. Thanks to Arizona’s new drunk driving laws, even first time offenders could land themselves in prison. Second, your auto insurer may cancel your insurance mid-term or terminate the policy at the end of the term because of your DUI conviction, especially if you are currently in a preferred class.

One of the most significant changes is the mandatory 45 day jail sentence for first timers that are found to have a blood alcohol level of twice the legal limit or higher. Many states allow you to choose the test, so you should know that a blood test tends to be the most accurate. Stay in your car unless asked to step out.
