How long will a DUI stay on my driving record in Indiana?

Two years ago, I was convicted of a DUI after having a few too many drinks with the boys. I’ve just purchased a new car and need to get insurance, but I’m worried the charge will skyrocket my premium in Indiana. How long does a DUI stay on your driving record?

A DUI is nothing to joke about and poses severe risks for you and other drivers and your insurance rates. In
Indiana
, a
DUI
conviction is also referred to as operating while intoxicated (OWI) and stays on your driving record forever. Although the charge may be reduced to a “wet reckless,” it will remain on your record.
Having a DUI charge on your record classifies you as a high-risk driver and can come with some hefty consequences for your wallet. While the penalties for a DUI in Indiana vary, there’s one thing for sure—it will affect your car insurance. But while it may be challenging to find cheap car insurance with a DUI or OWI on your record, the best thing to do is shop around.
