How long does a DUI stay on my driving record?

How long does a DUI stay on my driving record? Does it count as a second DUI if I got my first one 10 years ago?

Answer:  DUI is a criminal offense and will stay on your criminal record forever.  Every DUI you receive throughout your lifetime will be on your record.  I recently represented a gentlemen on his 7th DUI, and all prior 6 offenses were in the 1960′s, forty years ago.  For the purposes of sentencing, the law goes back for 5 years.  In other words, if you receive 2 DUI’s in the past 5 years, then the sentence will be greater, as required by law.
