What a twit!!!
Who cares what it is in Kentucky (even though you are not correct)??
The writer lives in VIRGINIA!!
Did you flunk geography.... or common sense??

BTW, the CORRECT answer is....
A criminal conviction does NOT expire (unless ordered by the court). Your second one.... will still be your second one.

No, it will not show up on your record, but PLEASE don't take that for granted. A charge in 1999 will not show up.

You need to be more cautious AND be more carefull, PLEASE???? (for the other drivers sake )

Correct me if I'm wrong!

That corncob must be really stiff, or you're extremely stupid. Which one caused you to have a "stupid moment" with a search engine larger than your rectum?

I have time, just let me know when I can begin my dumbass search....

Gee, you must have some secret way to remove a criminal record, huh??
The CORRECT answer is.... your criminal record will remain for the rest of your life.... unless you get it expunged or the finding included deferred adjudication (or removal of the record on completion of a probation period).

but PLEASE don't take that for granted.

Trust us.... we won't. Clearly, you are a frustrated confused little boy (who thinks he is a girl). Get some treatment.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

We will.

People often confuse the DMV records with the criminal records. The arrest record will stay on for life. If you drive after drinking another time following a first DUI arrest, you will be looking at a second DUI arrest. I'd start checking the penalties for a second DUI arrest and prepare for them.

[fedcop110]

In the state of Virginia you may be charged with a second offense DUI if the second charge is within 10 years from the first conviction. The penalties are higher if you are convicted of a second offense DUI within 5 years of the original conviction.

If you are charged with a second offense DUI within 5 years of the first conviction you are looking at a mandatory minimum fine of $500 and a mandatory minimum of 20 days in jail.

If you are charged with a second offense DUI within 10 years of the first conviction you are looking at a mandatory minimum of $500 and a mandatory minimum of 10 days in jail.

Your arrest record will not go away nor will your criminal history unless you get the convictions expunged, but I wouldn't count on that with DUI's unless there are some extenuating circumstances.

What was your BAC for the second offense? This also plays into what your mandatory minimum sentance will be if you are found guilty.

Don't know where you live (with your stupid quotes, I'm guessing you're a frog in France)

Anyway - I was charged with a DUI in 1996 nearly 10 years ago and it can't be found on any record during a background. That could be because when it comes to background checks, driving records, etc., they don't look for anything more than a felony (or a DUI in the last three years depending on your line of employment). A DUI is not a felony unless someone is killed and a person is charged, or if the DUI is a third conviction in most states, then it is a felony - The thing is is that it has to be in the same state in most instances - This I don't agree with, call me hipocritical, but if someone has a DUI in three years in three different states, the punishment can be minimal. Same with credit checks - they only go back seven years at the most.

BTW - If you want to think I'm a confused little boy, that's fine.

Or it could be that the employer, etc. simply didn't want to pay for anything beyond a certain date.... or less than a certain charge.
That does NOT mean the information is not there. In fact, tell ya' what.... if you want to prove it, simply PM me your name, DOB and address, and I will run you through state and NCIC. Lets just see what you have in your history.
Of course, I don't expect you to take my offer..... as it will prove you wrong AGAIN!!

Again, more ignorance from the ignorant. Whether a DUI/DWI is a misdemeanor or a felony is entirely up to the state laws where the incident occurs.
For example, in Texas, it is a felony to be driving while intoxicated with a child passenger!!
§ 49.045. DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED WITH CHILD PASSENGER.
(a) A person commits an offense if:
(1) the person is intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle in a public place; and
(2) the vehicle being operated by the person is occupied by a passenger who is younger than 15 years of age.
(b) An offense under this section is a state jail felony.

I would take you up on your offer, but I don't know you, and you're not employing me so NO.

And I thought that I mentioned in my post that it is a state thing to determine that, my quote was that "IN MOST STATES... IT IS A FELONY AFTER A THIRD OFFENSE"... Not those exact words (just read two posts up)... But why are you calling me ignorant for my statement? You quote a Texas law in your response... so what... your response includes a law involving children in the car while drinking - THAT'S ALSO CALLED CHILD ENDANGERMENT; NEGLECT; ETC****************************. Nothing to do with a straight single occupany DUI or DWI... What is your point?

same as i said before.

peace out.
