If you haven’t done the DUI classes after ten years do you still have to do it?

Maybe, it depends on what you were found guilty of, DUI or "wet" reckless, and what number DUI, first, second, third.

I was convicted of a DWI in MI will that conviction show in AZ?

I am not really certain. An Arizona driver license attorney would probably know. Your OWI/IMPAIRED will show on your Michigan driving record, but people are always telling me that they believe 5 states or more do not share records. I have worked for about 5 people who have had two more more drunk drivings in Michigan and then have moved to Arizona and they are unable to get a driver's license because they have to obtain a Michigan Clearance, so I cannot verify that Arizona will not know, sounds like they do already. In fact, I am working on one person's case right now and he lives in Arizona. He has two drunk drivings and can't be licensed in Arizona until he goes through the cumbersome process of obtaining a Michigan clearance by proving he has not drank, does not go to bars, won't ever drink again, etc., so I believe that AZ will know.

What happens if convicted of 2nd DUI after 10 years?

Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Did you refuse the breath test at the roadside or at the station? There is a big difference and the penalties are vastly different as well. A second offense DUI carries a lot stiffer penalties and prosecutors generally do not negotiate as much. You may be able to bargain it down to a first offense DUI. Retain an experience DUI attorney in your area because a lot is at stake with this. There may be issues with your case that can be used to get the case dismissed or reduced to perhaps impaired driving or even a non alcohol related offense. If it has been 10 years since your first conviction, then technically they can't charge you as a second offense DUI. However, a lot of prosecutors will treat it as a second offense when plea bargaining.
