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.
