How long will a DUI stay on my driving record in Wisconsin?
I got a DUI near Madison a few months ago, and my insurance rates shot up! I know that they won’t go down until it’s off my record, but I don’t know how long that will take. On average, how long should a DUI stay on my driving record in Wisconsin?

If you’re convicted of a
DUI in Wisconsin
, the charge will stay on your driving record
for 10 years. - A second conviction will force your record to reflect the DUI for an additional 10 years from the date of your second convictionA third offense will stay on your record foreverIf you’re convicted of any subsequent charges, you’ll likely face jail time
Keep in mind that driving is a dangerous privilege. Propelling yourself at high speeds in thousands of pounds worth of metal has the potential to do serious harm to others, especially when you aren’t in control.
Since car insurance companies base your rate on the level of risk you represent, DUI charges can be detrimental. You'll be required to file an
SR-22 certificate
and will likely see high Wisconsin car insurance
rates for years to come.MORE:
