What is the name of your state?IL
My first DUI I was guilty, I had no business driving and deserved it. My second DUI I chose not to drive and was barely drunk .087. But I was convicted even though I wasn't driving. As a truckdriver this left me penniless, unemployed, and stranded in a small town. I moved to a city where I have access to the bus. I have not had a drink in 9 months, and am now going to college. My part time job barely pays my bills, let alone fines, classes, reinstatement.... etc... I don't see myself being able to afford SR-22 car insurance anytime soon. Sometimes I think that even when I graduate from college, I will have a difficult time getting a good job with two DUI's on my record. Also, I was wondering what happens if I do not get my driver's license reinstated. Will I be able to reinstate it in four years when I may be able to afford the insurance ? I am not bitter, I am thankful that I did not hurt anyone, and thankful that my drinking days are over. I am now trying to move forward from this. I will never be a truckdriver again, because no one will be able to insure me as a driver, even if I get my license back. Any advice would be appreciated
