Is it right that my 1997 DUI conviction no longer come up on background checks?

Are you asking if it is legally correct? In Illinois, a DUI stays on your record forever. That may not be so for all states. Private background checks are performed by private companies and rely on a variety of information sources, and the degree of accuracy varies greatly.

Can I fight a DUI charge?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Cindy Mannon, Attorney at Law
Fleeing the scene has many different offenses. You can lose your license depending on what degree it is. Leaving the scene of a property accident does not make you lose license. You should have had a lawyer so they could try to deal one of the charges out, perhaps the fleeing the scene. An impaired driving will give you 4 points and you get a restricted license for 3 months. Perhaps probation, depending on court/judge. An attorney may be able to reduce the charge to reckless since you were a .08; however although it is not a drunk driving offense, it will be marked with a 3x which will mean that drinking was involved. You would lose your license completely for 90 days, which is why some of my clients prefer the impaired over a reckless, if they really have to drive for 3 months. A straight OWI gives you 6 points and no license for one month and then a restricted for 5 months again allowing you to drive to and from work and to probation, counseling, treatment, if you are on probation.
