An answer from someone who has used the maneuver of setting up a new residence, etc., twice because of DWI's is really not a reliable source of information, comitting a "Felony" fraudoffense is not the way to go. I suggest that you "bite the bullet," admit your culpability, pay the higher insurance premium from your carrier for the next five years, and swear you will not drink and drive again.

Assuming the courts haven't taken away your license, you'll need to contact a "high-risk" carrier like Progressive. If you've had to file an SR-22, you would give it to the carrier and go from there.

It's going to be very, very pricey, by the way, for about five years. And even after that, your record will probably keep your premiums pretty high.

You take the bus for the next five years.

After that, re-apply all over again then the convictions (as long as no deaths resulted) should be totally erased. Then you'll be able to get insurance through whoever you want.

Please stay off the roads!

Be careful of the excluded driver option, however. With an excluded driver endorsement, there is NEVER any coverage for the excluded driver -- EVER. Sounds pretty obvious until that person gets behind the wheel and wipes out a busload of nuns. Interestingly, people tend to forget all about being an excluded driver under those circumstances.

hahaaa where we live there is no public transportation. I got excluded driver ins. but i am not comfortable with it but the payments for other insurance is over my head at the time being. thank you for your advice on this question.

How long does a DUI stay on your record- In California, a DUI remains on your driving record for 10 years. Before January 1, 2007, it only remained on your record for 7 years. Now, even if you were convicted of a DUI before the 2007 legislative change, it will still be reported for 10 years.

More info below-

Your DMV driving record is permanent.

Happy Motoring

A moving violation conviction or an accident normally remains on a driver record during the year that the conviction or the accident occurred, and for the following three calendar years. (Note: The DMV uses the year when the conviction occurred, not the year when the violation occurred.) The DMV removes a conviction or an accident from a driver record on January 1 of the fourth year after the year of the conviction or the accident. For example, an accident or a conviction that occurred during 2003 remains on the driver record until January 1, 2007. A conviction that is alcohol-related or drug-related (for example, DWI or DWAI) remains on a driver record for exactly 10 years. If a driver is convicted of the same violation during that 10 years, the driver can receive additional penalties. There are other convictions and accidents of a serious type that can remain on a driver record for more than 10 years. A suspension or a revocation of a driver license that was not cleared or not terminated remains on a driver record indefinitely. A suspension or a revocation that was cleared or terminated remains on a driver record during the year it was cleared or terminated and for the following three calendar years. (Note: The DMV uses the year when the suspension or the revocation was cleared or terminated, not the year when the suspension or the revocation began.)

Usually the minimum ranges from 7 years (Nevada) to 10 years in other states. Sometimes longer. A subsequent offense will usually extend it by 4-6 years.

If it resulted in a fatality, unfortunately such a conviction will follow you for lifetime in which case you can forget about buying insurance, a car, or having a unrestricted license ever again.

If no injuries resulted and you have one or more DWI convictions the easiest way to be forgiven is to voluntarily surrender your license for an ID, wait a few years then start over applying all over again. The conviction will be deleted and you can start over with whatever insurance company you want. Good luck!

DWI is considered a felony offense in the State of Louisiana.

If you are arrested for DWI in Louisiana it is of the utmost importance to hire an attorney immediately. As soon as you are arrested, the timeframe for taking action is extremely short. You only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to challenge the suspension of your driver's license.

For first DWI arrests in Louisiana you can expect a minimum 90 day suspension of your driver's license (you can apply for a hardship license after 30 days); and $300-$1000 in fines depending upon your intoxication level.

Due to the serious nature of the penalties involved, it is absolutely critical to hire an experienced DWI attorney as quickly as possible. While it may seem expensive in the short-term, it will save you an enormous amount of money, time, and trouble in the future.
