How Long Does a DUI Stay on Your Record?

There are a few different convictions that can end up on a driver’s record in Kansas. Each one varies in the length of time that it stays on the driver’s record.

How Long Do Convictions Stay on Your Record?

  • Minor driving offenses such as speeding will stay on the record for three years
  • Major driving offenses such as driving on a suspended license will stay on the record for five years
  • DUI convictions will remain on the record for an individual’s lifetime

Clearly, a DUI sentence can have serious consequences in someone’s life. 

What Does BAC Stand For?

BAC stands for blood alcohol content or blood alcohol concentration that measures intoxication levels. This number can be found through a breathalyzer or blood test. In the state of Kansas, the BAC limit is 0.08%. If a driver is pulled over and it is determined that their BAC is above that limit, then they can be charged with a DUI.

It’s important to note that the BAC limit is different for underage drivers and commercial drivers. If a commercial driver is pulled over and has a BAC of 0.04% or a minor is pulled over with a BAC of 0.02% they can also be charged with a DUI. 

If you are facing DUI charges in Olathe, do not hesitate to contact our firm for legal representation. Call (913) 971-0296.

What Is the Implied Consent Law?

The implied consent law indicates that all Kansas drivers have provided consent to a chemical test if pulled over for a DUI. This means that any driver is required to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test. Refusing to take a chemical test will result in penalties mandated by the state.
