Re: how long does dui stay on your driving record
The easiest way to explain this is as follows:
Year 0 you have a dui conviction, with 7 years on your record.
Year 3 you have a second dui conviction.
Year 6 you have a third dui conviction.
In year 8 the statute changes to extend the time to 10 years. The first dui is gone because the 7 year period ran prior to the new law. The 2nd and 3rd dui convictions remain on your record as the 7 year period had not run prior to the time being extended.
