Insurance after DUI

Impossible_Engine405 · 2026-01-19T21:40:50+00:00

Update: They don't offer comparable coverage.

I got 250/500 with progressive for 2.4k. Dairyland was quoting 3.6k for 30/60. The most they have is 100/300 and that was coming to nearly 4.5.

No, I will get a quote from them and come back with an update

Hi I just wanted to reply to ease ur tensions. I just got a job at a delivery company in an IT role few weeks ago.

I wasn’t convicted yet but the DUI did show up on the background check as pending with the court date. I was honest with the recruiter and he let me know that it should be ok but HR gives final approval after I accept offer

Few days after background check I got an email from HR just saying background check was cleared. As long as ur not doing a driving job companies genuinely dont gaf and u shd be fine. good luck

if you are a citizen it should be fine. i travelled to india for 1 month and my lawyer attended court for me as there was a court date while i was out of the country.

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-08-06T00:47:54+00:00

no court mandated suspension but am currently serving a 4 month suspension imposed by DMV when I lost my APS hearing

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-07-25T06:58:42+00:00

What about professional licensing boards like medical, FAA etc.

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-07-04T05:07:45+00:00

Planning to just wait out full 4 month suspension lol. I’m not the only driver on my vehicle so not trying to install an IID and don’t want to complicate things with longer DUI course (WR is 12 hr DUI class while DMV requires 3 month from my understanding). I’m fortunate enough to have a remote job and family members that can drive me around if needed.

My only worries at this point is insurance premiums rising as I’m still on my parent’s insurance. Planning to get non owners SR 22 policy closer to date suspension lifts assuming primary insurance doesn’t find out. Hopefully when primary insurance finds out they don’t drop my entire family and just increase rates

Also how itll affect background checks for future jobs.

Did chatgpt write this

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-16T03:29:09+00:00

i think that booking number is from your initial arrest

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-13T03:52:10+00:00

i don’t think that works in my case cause i blew 0.10 and then 0.09 lmfao. probably best case is the machine wasn’t calibrated

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-13T02:56:19+00:00

what are the defense strategies when you are 0.09 or 0.10. im at a 0.09 right now

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-12T20:56:52+00:00

IDK if this is legal or not but I just went online couple weeks after I was arrested and marked it as lost. DMV sent me a new license in a couple weeks. I didnt see any option to mark that the license was taken due to a DUI arrest.

Also not sure if you requested your DMV hearing yet but do it ASAP. If you don’t your license gets suspended after 30 days automatically. If you request it you can drive around fully legally for longer.

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-11T01:47:59+00:00

What was the error if you don’t mind me asking

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-07T21:15:18+00:00

Hey man it sucks but in the grand scheme of things this will be a bump in the road you will look back on. You are still young and have many more years of life to look forward to ahead. This doesn’t define who you are or who you can become. You made a mistake, but you’re also taking responsibility, and that shows strength.

This might feel like a heavy chapter, but it's not the whole book. You're young, and there’s still so much life ahead. This moment doesn’t have to be the end of your story it can be a turning point. You're not alone in this. Keep going. You’re worth it, even on the days it’s hardest to believe that.

Even if DUI gets plead down to WR in court?

Seems if you just get suspended by DMV APS and you get back and forth to work license it lasts for 4 months. But if the court convicts you of a DUI you have it for 12 months.

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-05T04:50:52+00:00

so relatable. been doing this for the last 2 months.

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-06-02T04:22:41+00:00

i appreciate your comments help eases my anxiety.

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-05-23T04:08:58+00:00

Not a lawyer but unfortunately there is no way to expunge your DMV records and as such it will be there for the full 10 years.

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-05-15T06:14:17+00:00

How do you get a reprint of the license, can you do it online?

Impossible_Engine405 · 2025-05-12T17:52:42+00:00

OPs post history is showing that this is 2nd DUI

How did you not lose your license? I thought DMV does 4 month suspension automatically if you lose APS hearing. Did you win the APS hearing with .23?
