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

I was nailed with a DUI in Louisiana last year and my car insurance is breaking my bank! How long until it’s finally off my record and my rates go back to normal?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Being convicted of a DUI sucks as it means a definite increase in your insurance premiums. A
Louisiana DUI conviction
 will remain on your record for 10 years for the first conviction.
Along with sky-high insurance premiums,
Louisana
 drivers with an OWI (operating while intoxicated) on their driving record must also file an
SR-22
—a document certifying you meet the minimum insurance requirements in your state.
In certain states, it’s possible to fight for an acquittal, meaning the conviction will be removed from your driving record. However, Louisiana does not allow acquittals for DUI.

What are some common problems with the Pontiac G6?
I used to own a Pontiac Grand Am in high school and it was my favorite car of all time. I was looking to buy one to drive on weekends, but I only found that it had somewhat recently been replaced by the G6. The looks and engine are pretty much the same, but I just want to make sure it doesn’t have any issues. What are some of the common problems that the Pontiac G6 has?

Does the Hummer H2 get good gas mileage?
My husband loves the Hummer H2, but I don’t really like them that much. The car itself seems really clunky and I’m not a fan of the design. I’ve been wondering about the gas mileage, too, since the cars are shaped differently. Does the H2 get good gas mileage?
