DUI Question

What is the name of your state? MA

Hello:

Does anyone know what happens to a US license if you get a DUI in another country (was driving in the foreign country using a US / MA license, which has been now taken away by police in foreign country)? Does MA treat it just like you got a DUI in that state? I know that MA learns about DUIs that happen in other states (through national database), but what about internationally? The foreign country is Australia.

thanks.

Nah. I wouldn't worry unless you're headed back there anytime soon (READ: ever again).

This'll make it interesting to answer the question, "Have you ever been convicted of a crime?"
