How long does a DUI stay on my record in Virginia?
Virginia has some extremely tough DUI consequences. If you’re convicted of a DUI, the answer to the question “How long does a DUI stay on my record in Virginia?” is 11 years.

The DUI laws in Virginia also stipulate that a DUI conviction adds six points to your driving record, more than likely resulting in a huge increase in your auto insurance premiums.

In addition, a conviction for driving under the influence while operating a commercial vehicle will stay on your record permanently.

You may be in a world of hurt if you’re charged with a second offense DUI. Chances are that you’ll see your license suspended (Virginia’s DUI process automatically suspends your license for seven days if you’re even just “arrested” on suspicion of driving under the influence).

What You Should Do After a DUI Offense Conviction

A second offense – or even a first – could see you serving time in jail, if convicted.

In addition, the more points you accumulate, the greater the chance that you’ll see the DMV suspend your license: accumulate 18 points in 12 months, or 24 points in 24 months and your driver’s license will be suspended automatically.
