Car Insurance Question  I recently got a 2nd D.U.I. I am losing my license for one year. What states can I move to and try to obtain a license?

All 50 states and the District of Columbia have laws concerning driving while drinking or driving under the influence of alcohol or another substance. In all 50 states a DUI is a serious offense with hefty penalties such as jail time, fines, loss of driver's license, etc. Most states are also part of the Driver's License Agreement which means that they share their DMV records with each other so the DUI charge would follow you if you move to a different state.

There are certain states which permit offenders to drive vehicles that are equipped with ignition interlocks. This device analyzes the driver's breath and will disable the ignition if it determines the driver has been drinking. With this being your second offense I would suggest getting legal advice to see if there is anyway in which you could not lose your license.If you are moving check with a lawyer in the state you are moving to.
