Auto Insurance Advice

Q: What happens to my auto insurance if I get caught drunk driving?

A: In many cases your auto insurance company will drop your policy, or drastically increase your annual premiums. They do this because as a group, people who drive drunk get in more accidents (and more expensive accidents) than people who don't. Unless you are convicted of a DUI/DWI, the insurance company cannot raise your rates so you may want to consult a good attorney before going to court.

Just like regular auto insurance, insurance for driver's with a DUI on their record is a competitive market. Make sure that you shop around and get quotes from several different auto insurance companies.

 

Your auto insurance company will usually remove your DUI/DWI from your record after a period of time, generally around 7 years.
