Re: just wondering
Yes, for two reasons. One, they only go back 10 years. Two, when a person is arrested the police do not always do a thogough background check and sometimes the previous DUI does not show up. But you have to be careful because if it IS within 10 years, then the new ticket can always be amended to a DUI Second Offense. There are some ways of dealing with that to protect yourself and your welcome to call if you need more information.
