If you consider all the penalties and consequences resulting from getting a DUI, then you most certainly have to factor in what happens to your insurance coverage and premiums after a DUI conviction.
Insurance companies are getting smarter and wiser in finding out if their clients have received a DUI. And, when they do find out, you can guarantee that these companies will respond immediately with prohibitive rate increases and reduced coverage. In some cases, these companies with drop you from their policy altogether.
The Insurance coverage issue may extend far beyond your personal automobile coverage. If you're a worker who drives commercial vehicles for a living, the impact of a DUI may cost you your job. Some insurance companies will raise the company insurance policy premiums if a company chooses to employ people with a DUI conviction. Hence, a DUI conviction may reach much further than a commercial license suspension. It could impact your ability to earn a living if you are forced to abandon a skill-set built around commercial driving.
This is yet another strong reason you should consider all your possibilities and investigate the chances of reducing if not eliminating your DUI charge.
