How Long Does DUI Stay in My Record in New York
Reader’s Question:
My boyfriend was charged with DUI 5 years ago. It’s a serious offense and as expected his auto insurance rate in New York increased so much after that incident. Ever since, we never saw any decrease on his car insurance rate again. We’re thinking of switching to another auto insurance company because it’s really getting too much for him to pay for his car insurance premium. But, I just wanna know first how long does DUI stay in a person’s record? Is five years enough for that to be removed from my boyfriend’s record?

In the state of New York (or anywhere else in the United States) being convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) is considered a very serious violation. And I don’t know anybody who are charged with this that did not see an increase on his/her auto insurance rate after the DUI citation.
Being charged guilty of alcohol or drug related driving violation normally results in license suspension. As to your question, such violation stays on a person’s driving record for a period of ten years. However, if your boyfriend is charged with DUI within that period, that would only result for additional penalties on your boyfriend’s part.
Since you’ve mentioned that you are considering of switching to another car insurance company, then I would suggest you try the websites to get auto insurance quotes in New York.

The best way to determine the car insurance costs is to get car insurance quote. You can begin here by typing in your zip code in Paterson, New Jersey.
Different rating factors go into consideration when it comes to your car insurance rate. You need to provide that information when you get car insurance quote form, and these car insurance providers will calculate your car insurance rate based on the information you provided to tell any sixteen year old how much their auto insurance will cost will be. There are a lot of factors that go into a car insurance rate. On the average, a sixteen year old may expect to pay 2.52 x the base rate for their auto insurance. For instance if your parents pay five hundred dollars a year for car insurance, then a sixteen year old may expect to pay $1260 for a year for auto insurance. You need to be rated with all the rating factors to provide an accurate car insurance rate. For instance, in Paterson, New Jersey a sixteen year old may pay 3.2 x the base rate.
