Anybody know where I can find a site for a free driving record lookup? I got a DWI in 04' and the BMV said its 5 years til' thats off my record.. and my insurance agent is saying different.. I got it when I was 19.. i'm 21 now.

 

Yeah, my problem is if that DWI is still on my record when I go to get financed for a car i'd have to get full coverage insurance.. and it would rape me. I drive and have driven my old chevy truck for quite a while now and it has 325,000 miles i'm gonna be due for something before 3 years is up and I dont want to have to pay cash for something old and unreliable.

 

any time you get a loan for a car you have to have full coverage

 

you gotta have full coverage when you finance a car anyways dumbass. and yes, your insurance is going to rape you. you have a DWI moron. glad your payin for it to....

 

I know.. thats the problem

 

you act like you've never made any mistakes in your life.. i was 19, drunk, and was screaming in a 93' prelude si up highway 37 like a dickwad and lost it on a sharp turn.. and i've paid a shitpot for it.. just wondering when the shitpot of money thrown away will come to an end

 

not really. I believe CA did away with that. Hear about it a few years ago, didn't care too much for what I was hearing because you SHOULD have full coverage if you buy a NEW car. Protect the investment.

Lemme guess, go to the DMV and ask for a record printout for insurance purposes, I believe those only date back 3 years. Which if that is the case you are still fucked cause it happened 2 years ago.

 

In about 3 more years , Yes we all make mistakes, but some people deserve it. Not saying you do, but I bet you at least think it twice before driving drunk again. Right? So the system works, well for some people.

There's no way around it, unless you get someone else to buy and sign for you, and then you pay the loan. Don't think anyone would do that really....My advice is to buy something realiable cash in the 4 to 5k range, rape it for 3 years and then buy something nicer. There's really no way around it. I just turned 25, the insurance on the WRX went from $1400 a year to $600. I love it. Of course I don't have any DUI's on my record

 

im glad you paid. im also glad your still payin. im even more happier that you didnt take out some family or some innocent person because your stupid *** decided to go out and get drunk and then drive home. not really a mistake...more like stupidity to me. make a few mistakes...yeah, ive made a few. i can honestly say though that ive never drivin after a few beers. to much to loose.
-as im sure you can see.

on the other hand...dont do something even more stupid and get a car, put full coverage on it for the first few months, then reduce it to minimal coverage. then your really fucked cause the bank will put their own insurance on it. what do I know though.
