How long does a DUI stay on my driving record?
How long does a DUI stay on my driving record? Does it count as a second DUI if I got my first one 10 years ago?
Answer: DUI is a criminal offense and will stay on your criminal record forever. Every DUI you receive throughout your lifetime will be on your record. I recently represented a gentlemen on his 7th DUI, and all prior 6 offenses were in the 1960's, forty years ago. For the purposes of sentencing, the law goes back for 5 years. In other words, if you receive 2 DUI's in the past 5 years, then the sentence will be greater, as required by law.
