DUI
Auto Insurance and SR-22 Insurance

Each state
sets its own speed limits, and it also decides what to do
about drunk driving in the state. The table below shows how
states define drunk driving. Whether they immediately suspend
the driver’s license for first-time offenders, how long offenders
have to wait until they can drive again, and whether drunk
drivers face having their vehicles impounded or fitted with
an ignition interlock.

DUI
Insurance and SR-22 Insurance

Administrative
license suspensions happen independently of the criminal process,
which means drunk drivers get taken off the roads that much
more quickly. Interlocks analyze a driver’s breath and disable
the ignition when they detect alcohol.

SR-22
in California and Other States

You’ll
notice that there are different figures for adults and youths.
That’s a result of the zero-tolerance measure passed by Congress
in 1995, and subsequently by the states. It sets a different
standard for drivers under the age of 21, who cannot legally
drink alcohol. We help you understand SR-22 in California
and anywhere. We offer SR-22 insurance and comprehensive DUI
auto insurance.

DUI
Insurance: Drunk driving per se
An “illegal
per se” law means that it is illegal in and of itself for
you to be caught driving if your Blood Alcohol Concentration
is over a certain amount. We offer DUI auto insurance for
drivers who have had DUI charges. We know that getting insurance
after an infraction is difficult. Our DUI insurance is the
perfect solution (.10 or .08 percent, depending on the state).

In places
without an “illegal per se” law, your BAC is just one of the
factors that determines whether or not you’re a drunk driver.
Other factors would include slurred speech, unsteady gait
and all those other things that the police look for when they
give those roadside tests. Every state except Massachusetts
and South Carolina has an “illegal per se” law.

Notes:
1. Laws
in Massachusetts and South Carolina aren’t per se laws. A
BAC of 0.10 percent in South Carolina and 0.08 percent in
Massachusetts is evidence of alcohol impairment but isn’t
illegal per se. In Delaware, the 0.02 percent BAC law for
young drivers isn’t a per se law.
2.
Special BAC for young drivers applies to people younger than
21 except in Wisconsin, where the age is 19.
3.
Information pertains to drivers in violation of the BAC defined
as illegal per se for all drivers, not the special BAC for young
drivers.
4.
Drivers usually must demonstrate special hardship to justify
restoring privileges during suspension, and then privileges
are often restricted.
5.
A multiple offender’s vehicle may be seized and disposed.
6.
An offender’s vehicle may be impounded or immobilized, the registration
may be suspended, or the license plates may be confiscated.
In New York, registration suspension applies only to offenders
younger than 21. In Montana, impoundment applies only to offenders
younger than 18.
7. In New York, administrative license suspension lasts until prosecution
is complete.
