What is the name of your state? CA
I am here seeking advice regarding my dui. On 12-31-05, I caused an accident and totalled both my vehicle and the other party's vehicle. I submitted to a breath test and blew .06 % BAC. After hiring a lawyer, I appeared in court. The judged dropped the misdemeanor DUI charges and listed my violation as "wet and wreckless." The DMV printout shows my violations as follows:
Section Violation: 23140 VC
DMV Point Count: 2
Type of accident code: 5
Sobriety code: 2
Injury code: 2
Fatality code: 0
I was instructed (by DMV) to attend and complete the 6-week educational component of a DUI program. I will complete the program as of 1-18-07. I realise that my future insurance company will need to submit an SR-22 form showing financial responsibility.
My questions are as follows:
1. Will my insurance premium rate increase? If so, will it increase dramatically? How long will I see this increase?
2. How long will this charge be on my DMV record? How long will it take to remove the 2 points from my license record?
3. Are there any particular insurance companies that I should be focusing on for future coverage? Recommendations?
Thanks for taking the time to share your advice!
