Drunk Driving Collateral Consequences
I blogged previously about the direct consequences for DWI before and after statutory amendments took effect on December 1, 2019. Nevertheless, DUI carries the penalties a judge must impose and also drunk driving collateral consequences. A list of drunk driving collateral consequences includes but is not limited to:
- No Expungement of Motor Vehicle Record
- Out-of-State Licensee—Report to Home Jurisdiction
- Civil Consequences of Guilty Plea
- Motor Vehicle Commission Surcharges
- Motor Vehicle Points on Companion Moving Violations
- Sentence Enhancement for Future Violations:
- Insurance Eligibility Points
- Loss of Ability to Purchase Liability Insurance
- Restriction on Vanity & Courtesy License Plates
- Restriction on Lawsuit for Economic & Non-Economic Damages
- Additional Fees and Expenses Payable to State Agencies
- Other Collateral Consequences
Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances. If you need legal assistance please contact and hire a lawyer. Before making your choice of attorney, you should certainly give this matter careful thought. The selection of an attorney is an important decision.
