I was reading on the insurance side of things for a DUI charge, the courts don't notify your insurance company of your conviction if you're convicted, so you might catch a break there. But a large chunk of insurance companies will check your driving record on occassion.

If they do, they wipe out your driving history and reset your insurance rate to the highest level possible of a person without a driving record. So your literally paying the same thing as a first time insuree, which can almost double or triple your insurance rate, and that can last between 3 and 6 years. So take your annual insurance rate and times it by 2 and budget that.



If drinking and getting behind the wheel of a potentially lethal high speed weapon isn't enough to stop people from pounding drinks back and driving, the court costs, and insurance costs should hopefully make people act smarter.

But it doesn't.
