Typically, if a violation is written to a driver only and not against the automobile, it is the driver’s record that will be affected. If this is the case and your boyfriend got convicted of Driving Under The Influence or DUI in his name only then usually it would be his driving license and automobile insurance rates that would be affected by this citation and not your auto insurance rate in Hoover, Alabama.

Many states have harsh laws against driving under the influence (DUI) of either drugs or alcohol. A court conviction of a person operating while intoxicated, OWI, includes penalties such as course or seminars for drinking drivers and substance abuse evaluation and or treatment and 48 hour jail sentence for a first offense. This is drunk driving conviction may also come with a fine of up of to $1000.
