      How to lookl up the exact outcome and penalties from a DUI conviction.

      What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

      Question about breathalyzers...

      What is the name of your state? Michigan As I understand it, implied consent laws essentially dictate that a DUI suspect will either submit to a breathalyzer/blood test or will face automatic license suspension penalties. Do these penalties only apply if you refuse a breathalyzer at the...

      Traveling abroad after a DUI

      What is the name of your state? Michigan I had a DUI about three-and-a-half years ago and now I'm considering doing some traveling abroad and wondering what sort of issues it will create. As far as the actual DUI, I took care of everything properly and as far as the courts are concerned...

      Do implied consent laws cover PBT's?

      Under what circumstances should you REFUSE the breathalyzer?

      By now, everyone who hangs around this board has probably seen a dozen posts by people who start off their story with, "I was pulled over and refused the breathalyzer." That's usually followed by a bunch of people telling them why they shouldn't have refused (I've probably read 50 cases like...

      A Survey For Those Convicted of DUI

      It seems to me that many people on this board have been convicted of a DUI in one form or another, so it should be a good place to ask: Were the penalties you faced effective AND fair? What I’m looking for are thing like: If you had a drinking problem, did going through the programs and...

      DUI case dropped, what happes to records?

      This happened in Michigan. There's a big and unimportant back story here, but suffice it to say a friend of mine was arrested for a DUI. As such, he went through the whole booking process of getting his picture taken, finger prints etc. Shortly after, the case ended up being dropped for...

      DUI and crossing the Canadian border

      What is the name of your state? Michigan I recently heard that having a DUI or OWI on your record automatically disqualifies you from being able to legally enter Canada.

      Who can see a DUI on record?

      What is the name of your state? Michigan. I did some poking around and I see that in Michigan, you cannot have a DUI expunged from your record. So what exactly does that mean? I know the cops/judge can see I had the DUI, but is that info readily available to the public? How about all...
