I'd like to drive something for a job, like a cab or auto parts or something. My last DUI was around nov or Dec of 2003....nothing since, not even a parking ticket. I'm clean as can be for nearly 7 years. can I get a driving job.... non CDL ?

Should be no problem -- usually the most they go back is 5 years in most cases on DMV records. Good luck Doug.Comment -
are you going to lie on your job app when they ask?Comment -
5 yrsComment -
i think its 7 but im not sure contact you local dmv office.Comment -
I have 7 career DUI's but all before 2004, all before 1995, except 2003, a few caused me to move out of state ( in the 80's and 90's). Not all were settled, but nothing before 1995 is outstanding. I'm clean since 1995, settled the 2003 one, and the 1995 one, everything else ( pre 1990 that I ran out on has been forgotten, I think ?....none were felonies or involving injury).Comment -
10 yrs for CDL I believe, dont know about non- CDLComment -
A lot will depend on the boss. I drive for my job and he just asked about anything in the last 2 years, but I know 1 of the guys there had a DUI from before.Comment -
Just be honest Doug when it comes time. Lying is far worse. People will see that you've corrected your actions.
With that said, i wouldn't volunteer any information, unless asked.Comment -
I depends in the insurance carrier they have but most only look at 2 yearsComment -
nobody is saying over 7 years....that's good !Comment -
I'll pass a drug test too, haven't smoked pot in about a year, don't do other stuff, either. You can hair test me, if you want to !Comment -
7 years is as far as I can imagine, except you may hit places in applications where it says "have you ever. . ."
7+ years starts to become forgivable and a lessened factor when it was non-violent crime. Good luck with the search.

5 Years rings a bell, usually they ask to bring your MVD record for "blank years" so maybe break off a call or ask "hey, should I bring in my 5 year DMV printout?"Comment -
Who said I stopped ? I'm very careful these days, though ! I didn't quit drinking, but I rarely drink and drive, anymore !
I never did any serious time. I did 8 days in Vegas ( on a first charge in nevada) which was ridiculous for the charge ( circa 1993) either charge me on warrants from Colo or Calif or let me go ! I don't think that old shit ever showed either....they just kept me for 8 ******* days for no reason ! I'm not saying I shouldn't have done some time for my previous offenses, but not in Clark County Detention Center ! Don't get a DUI in Vegas ! I lived there about 1989-1996.
Maybe I was held too long pending extradition to Ca or CO ? I don't think so, I think Clark County just held me for an excessive time ( 8 days), in a bureacratic delay/ error ... usually you're out in 12 hours or even 2 hours or less. They'd never ship me back for a misdemeanor charge, though ! I did spend 8 days in CCDC, though as a Las Vegas resident.Comment -
Las Vegas isn't the place to play around the cops aren't thrilled with that what happens here stays here, think they take it personal as the whole country comes and sh*ts on the rules, city, etc. So they try to make examples out of people.Comment -
not sure how far they go back but I think after 5 or 7 years you can have it expungedComment -
That's why I always suggest visitors to LV not rent a car....OK if you don't drink, but people drive crazy there, and you might get 8 days on a DUI. Defending it from another state ( even CA) would be hard. Don't get a rental car there if you want to party, is my advice, there are options to get around that city. You can get around without a car easily, ( as a visitor) there is always a cab ( or bus if you're cheap), no reason to drive, let loose and party it up, **** driving as a tourist !Comment -
not really, in Ct it goes back 10 years ( I think) by DMV.....as in if I got another DUI , DMV goes back 10 years, so it would be a 2nd offense for me until Nov 2013 ( requires time for #2). it doesn't really expunge, but it may well not show on some DMV printout for employers...but you'd still get nailed for a 2nd within 10 years.... as I understand the laws.
For insurance and job purposes 5 years is probably good, 7 years for sure, but 10 with DMV., even though it doesn't show up. If I got another DUI before Nov 2013 it would be considered #2 for me, from my knowledge of the law....even though I might get hired to drive and look 100% clean. I don't want to test that !Comment
