Can a DUI Conviction Affect Your Auto Insurance Rates?

A DUI conviction can cost you up to 12 months in jail and a $1,000.00 on a first offense, but the costs don’t end there. A recent study by Nerd Wallet, Inc. found that Atlanta ranks 5th in the nation for insurance premium increases following a DUI. Atlanta drivers can expect a 75% rate hike on average after a first time DUI conviction. Law Enforcement officers will be out in full force this weekend looking for impaired drivers, and they will be ready for one of their busiest holidays of the year as the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations begin.

Be sure to include a safe way home in your plans, a designated driver, taxi or Uber. But if you or someone you know is facing Atlanta DUI charges, call experienced DUI attorney Ray Giudice available to help you 24/7 at (404)946 4185.
