Will a DUI conviction raise my insurance rates? That will depend on the insurance company and the disposition in court. A conviction will likely have an effect on insurance rates, however, for first offenders who receive PBJs, no conviction is ever received, and the insurance company is unlikely to find out.
Will there be a permanent record of my DUI conviction? Yes. If convicted of a DUI, there will be a permanent record in court and at the MVA on your driving record, however, the driving record can be expunged after ten years without a ticket. These are public records and can be accessed by anyone who is interested. On the other hand, if you are found not guilty, the record of your arrest can be expunged and there will likewise be no trace of your arrest for anyone to locate.
What are the penalties for driving on a suspended license? The maximum penalty for driving on a suspended license can either be 3 points, a $500.00 fine, and sixty days in jail, or 12 points, a $1000.00 fine and a year in jail depending on the reason for the suspension.
I was driving my commercial vehicle when I got pulled over, how will this affect my Commercial driver’s license (CDL)? The rules for a driver pulled over while operating a commercial motor vehicle are a little bit different. A person operating a commercial motor vehicle faces disqualification of his/her CDL for a period of one year if while driving a commercial motor vehicle: Any person convicted of two or more of any of the above violations will be disqualified for life. The federal government has conditioned availability of highway funds on states enacting more restrictive CDL provisions including disqualifying CDL holders who receive a DUI or DWI while driving a non-commercial vehicle. Fort Meade is likely to enact such provisions in 2005.
