Understanding the Charges Against You

The Driver's License Compact, or the Interstate Driver's License Compact, is an agreement between most states where they share information regarding traffic violations, including DUI. If you live in State A but are arrested for drunk driving in State B, the violation will be communicated to the authorities in your home state.

You could receive the penalties, upon conviction, that apply in the state where you were arrested, even if they are different from your home state's laws. Once you have finished your sentencing and other penalties, you could face further penalties from your own state. These could include your license being revoked and more jail time as well.

Fighting Hard to Protect Your Rights

You are going to need knowledgeable, skilled legal help if you are from out of state and arrested for DUI in our state. A conviction can mean that you are fined and jailed in the state where the violation occurred. Your license can be suspended in the state where the DUI occurred but not taken away. Your home state can take away your license, however.
