All tickets and violations stay on your driving record forever or until the server crashes beyond repair and without backup. The issue is how long does your insurance company rate you for violations. Usually the answer is 3 years but some ask you to report to them all violations in the past 5 years. Even though your driving record included all events that ever happened, vendors like insurance companies can only pull driving reports for a verifiable time limit. In Georgia, you can get a report for either 3 years or 7 years. Most companies only rate for 3 years so they don't bother to pay for the 7 year report. I'm sure the situation is similar in NC.

That's a personal opinion but the person who is driving under the influence, not not at all that person's insurance shouldn't have to pay for it. If there was a victim involved, that other person's insurance company should pay the victim and maybe arrange for the person with the DWI to pay them back, or if so the person who did the DWI pays the victim.
