How long will a DUI conviction remain on your driving record?
- One year.
- 10 years.
- 40 years.
- 75 years. ✓
Answer: D. 75 years.
A DUI conviction remains on your driving record for 75 years.
Why this is the answer
The handbook passage on drinking and driving lists tough penalties and then states that a DUI conviction stays on the driving record for 75 years. That direct rule matches the 75-year choice. The shorter periods given in the other choices are not supported by the passage, which treats drinking and driving as a serious offense with lasting consequences.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. One year. — One year is far shorter than the record period the handbook gives for a DUI conviction.
- B. 10 years. — Ten years is not the period stated in the handbook; it gives a much longer DUI record period.
- C. 40 years. — Forty years is still short of the 75-year DUI record period stated in the handbook.
Remember it
Think of a 75th birthday to recall how long a DUI stays on your record.
