Dwi

A Louisiana resident has 2 DWI convictions, one 12 months ago, the other ten years. No car accident, injuries, or jail time (other than overnight). Did not blow a breathalyzer in either case. Has a DWI conviction in 1992 as well, in NY State. This person recently moved toWashington, DC - how does DMV view these convictions at license application, and how do city courts view these DWIs if the resident is arrested for suspicion of DWI in DC.

Re: Dwi

A new conviction in DC would mean mandatory jail time if the government can prove the priors. Therefore it is vital to get an attorney. But license application should not be affected unless there is a current suspenion/revocation in another State. And if you don't have a current out of State license that you are trading in, and are taking the examinations from scratch, DMV may not even know about the priors. You may be required by law, however, to tell DMV if you have current suspensions.
