There are different laws in every state, but in general, a DUI conviction would affect your car insurance status for at least three years if this is your first DUI offense. For any subsequent DUI convictions, the length of time would be much longer. The increased rates for your car insurance would only come into play if you would want to have your driving privileges restored. You can simply avoid the extra costs that your DUI conviction in Citrus Park-Fern Lake, Florida can bring by walking or taking public transportation.
There are other ways to avoid increased rates or at least lessen the price if you are paying expensive premium rates for your car insurance. Examples of which are maintaining a clean driving record, paying all your bills on time to boost your credit rating, driving a non-sports car and/or an older car, taking safe-driving classes, staying current on your insurance premiums, moving to a safer neighborhood, moving closer to your workplace so that you can shorten the commute or adding safety equipment to your car.
