Can I get another license in any other state if my DUI is almost 10 years ago?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Thomas Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
You will not be getting a license in another state as long as the states are able to confer with one another.

Can they really charge me with if I was arrested for DUI but I wasn't driving and the keys weren't in the ignition?

Hudson Thomas Bair
Answered by attorney Hudson Thomas Bair (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Kapsack & Bair, LLP
Yes, you can be charged with DUI, further when you failed to provide a sample of your blood or breath you are likely to be prosecuted for "refusal." You must be lawfully arrested in order to trigger the "implied consent" law which would require you to submit to chemical testing. You may have defenses to the DUI including the fact that you weren't driving, the prosecution has to demonstrate driving, frequently they proceed with circumstantial evidence which may, or may not, be persuasive to a jury.

Can I get a DUI in a parked car?

Michael Rutledge Norton
Answered by attorney Michael Rutledge Norton (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Norton
Yes you can get a DUI in a parked car. The DA will have to establish that you were driving using other facts like if the car is registered to you, if you admitted driving, other passengers that could have been driving, if you were in the driver seat, if the keys were in the ignition, the location of the vehicle on the road, etc. They also have to prove you were drunk at the time of driving. Which may be another issue to attach in your case. Contact a local DUI attorney and discuss the matter with them in person. Your prior is going to make the DA less likely to dismiss or reduce your charges.
