Reader’s Question:

I received a DUI but I dont want to lose my license, so I just want to know if there is a US state where I can get a license?

Thank you for asking Noreen.

All states have laws regarding driving while drinking or driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and other serious offense. In all states a DUI is a serious offense with associated penalties such as jail time, fines, suspension of driver’s license, etc. Most of these states are also part of the Driver’s License Agreement which means that they forward their DMV records with each other so the DUI charge would follow you if you move to another state.

There are some states which allow offenders to operate their vehicles that are equipped with ignition interlocks. This device checks the driver’s breath and will disable the ignition if it determines the motorist has been drinking. I would suggest that you get legal advice regarding this to check if there is anyway in which you could not lose your license.

Goodluck!
