The Consequences of a DUI on a Commercial Driver’s License
A DUI can cost an ordinary driver his driver’s license, typically for a few months or a few years. The consequences of a DUI on a commercial driver’s license are even more serious, and they are easier to trigger.
Can You Get a DUI While Riding a Bike?
A “DUI” is defined by the motor vehicle code, or criminal penal code, of each and every individual state, and as such the definition varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The primary distinction involves the definition of the term “vehicle”. Most states define a vehicle as a “motor vehicle”, including motor bikes, scooters and motor boats.
Can a DUI Be Expunged?
The short answer to the question of whether a DUI can be expunged is, “It depends on the state.” A DUI conviction can harm you in many ways, some of which might not be obvious to most people. You might lose your job, become ineligible for a security clearance, lose the ability to obtain a student loan, be denied an apartment lease, or even be refused admission to Canada.
Does a DUI Effect Your Credit Score?
A conviction for a DUI does not directly effect your credit score. However, if you are like millions of Americans who don’t have the cash resources to easily pay for the thousands of dollars incurred in fines, costs, and legal fees, a DUI conviction can indirectly cause your credit score to tank.
