    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Can a prior DUI be used to enhance a prior DWI?

      No, under Arkansas law, a DUI cannot be used to enhance a DWI.  For example, if you get a DUI when you are 19 and then get another DUI when you are 20, it will be a DUI-2.  But if you then get a DWI when you are 21, that will be a DWI-1, and the DUIs will not be used to enhance the DWI to a DWI-2 or DWI-3.

    • Can a prior DWI be used to enhance a DUI?

      Yes, a prior DWI can be used to enhance a DUI.

    • Is the look back period ten years from when I got my first DWI or ten years from when I plead guilty?

      Enhancement for prior DWIs and DUIs during the 10-year look-back period are determined from the date the violations occurred rather than the date of conviction.

    • How long do the Courts look back when determining if this is a 1st or subsequent DWI or DUI?

      The Courts will look back ten years.
