both of you you- for loaning your car to an idiot the driver- for choosing to drink and drive
No. The loan on your car has nothing to do with a DUI. If you do get a DUI, most probably your insurance renewal premium will go up a lot. But, your insurance has no reason to cover your auto loan. It is up to you to make your loan payments with or without a DUI on your record.
No, and you may be responsible for paying for the damages since it was your car. If you want that money back, you'll have to sue your DUI friend.
A person would need a good DUI defense attorney, otherwise you will be losing your driver's license quickly. A person might also need some AA meetings.
You can drop anyone that is listed as a driver on a car you own and pay for insurance on for any reason. Depending on your insurance company this may avoid them raising the premium on that car due to his DUI.
The driver will also pick up a Minor in Consumption charge. Other than that, the charges are the exact same as a driver over 21 who gets a DUI charge. However, any positive BAC if you are under 21 is an automatic DUI. .04 will get you the same charge as .08, (or 1.0 in some states) or higher if you are under 21.
No, the offense (DUI) is Driving Under the Influence (of alcohol) and it applies to the driver of the car not the owner.
As long as the driver has auto insurance on the vehicle there should be no problem, DUI or not. If there is no insurance on the vehicle you have a problem. In that case not only will you be liable for the damage to the vehicle you cosigned but you also may have liability for the injuries and damages for anyone they hit. You should be very careful about cosigning a loan with anyone. They will get payment from the one who is easiest to get payment from and that is you most likely.
