Louisville, KY

 

Your driver’s license record is maintained by the Transportation Cabinet, Division of Driver Licensing. This agency keeps record of all traffic violations, suspensions, accidents, reinstatement, and assignments to traffic school. If you have any questions regarding your driving record, you may contact them directly.

 

According to the Kentucky’s driver’s manual convictions of violations stay a part of your driver’s record for a period of 5 years for an operator’s license and 10 years for a commercial driver’s license. It does not say specifically driving under the influence offense here though so you may want to contact the KY Transportation Cabinet to check if this violation is also on your driving record for five years or more.

 

The penalties for the first DUI offense in Louisville, Kentucky may include:

  • $200 – 500 Fine
  • 90 Day Alcohol or Substance Abuse Program
  • 30 to 120 Day License Suspension
  • 2 to 30 Days in Jail
  • Possible 48 Hours – 30 Days Community Labor
