If you recieve a DWI in a state you are visiting does it carry over to the state you live in?
marcella asked:
Example:: DWI in Delaware does it also mean your suspended from driving in your home state of New Jersey?
It wasnt me that received it, it was my ex
This person told me they just cant drive in the state of Delaware and I wasnt so sure that was true.

Dont drink and drive, you can kill yourself and/or other people.
Yeah cuz there’s interstate co-operation between law enforcement agencies and DMV. They’ll also transfer the warrant if you don’t handle the ticket.
It depends on the laws of each state.
It used to depend upon the state, but the laws have changed, now it is reciprocated in all states.
I don’t know. This is one of the reasons I left the states - stupid laws. I got pulled over in Manila two weeks ago and the officer saw a bunch of empty beer bottles on the floor of the front passenger’s seat and said “sir- there are beer bottles there,” so I replied, “yes, but I drank them earlier” to which he replied “Ok, have a nice night sir”
Another difference, here the police call citizens “Sir” instead of “son.” Can’t stand police states like the US.
Your driving record will follow you no matter where you live. If you get a ticket in California, they will request that your state suspend your license if you fail to pay or appear. All 50 states have “reciprocity” for most violations, and DUI is one that the US Department of Transportation deems most serious. Therefore, it WILL follow you. Your driver’s license is based on its own number, but to apply you must provide your Social Security Number for verification of your identity. When you give your SSN, your record in ALL states will automatically come up, so you can’t get a license in another state. Your best bet is to just do your time and live with it. Next time, take a taxi. Otherwise, you will be taking one ALL the time…
Oh yeah. Most states reciprocate by enforcing punishments and fines. If Delaware suspended her license, they did so with the cooperation of New Jersey.
Sadly, yes it does. As this is a class A/1 misdemeanor, and in some cases, a felony. Ans a serious offense in all states. You will need to get an attorney and hope you can get a wet-reckless. It’s going to cost you about $10,000 when all is said and done, and will haunt you for years (insurance companies love to collect serious premiums for these). Hopefully you will have learned a very expensive lesson. Good Luck!
Yes, it should. However, sometimes if the other state doesn’t communicate the offense, and she has a license in both states, it could hide itself.( We have and issue with this sometimes here Ark/Ok border) But, if she got a DWI in Deleware and had a New Jersey license, then they will have suspended her New Jersey license… that’s the only one she has. And without a valid license you cannot drive in any state.
If you have a DWI in 1 state and it carries a suspension, then suspension doesn’t carry over to another state, but if you got caught driving you can be charged with being unlicensed (because of your suspension on your license, which would prevent you from driving anywhere else).
Also, DWI’s, stay with your permanent driving record and can be introduced against you if you ever get re-arrested for DWI anywhere else in the United States.
