Reader’s Question:

How long does a DUI remain on your driving record and increase your insurance rates in Hawaii? I got a DUI 7 years ago and my rates never went up.

A DUI in Hawaii can also be termed as driving a car under the influence of an intoxicant (OVUII). Many OVUII HI arrests cause both the individual to have a criminal case in the district courts as well as a case against them in the Administrative Driver’s License Revocation Office (ADLRO). The ADLRO is a state agency that performs legal proceedings to determine whether the driving privileges of an individual arrested for DUI (OVUII) should be suspended or revoked.

The Hawaii DMV site does not list how long a DUI remains on your driving history but contact the Traffic Violations Bureau for driving record information. As for insurance providers usually they can go back 3, 5 or 7 years to check your MVR and rate your policy.

Some states may have limits on the amount of years an insurance providers can look back, so verify with the Department of Insurance for the state in which you are moving to check what their regulations are regarding this issue.
