After serving the sentence and paying the fine, a person convicted of drunk driving is eager to let things get back to normal and to return to life as it was before the charges. In most parts of the U.S., normal living-school, work, other activities-usually involves driving, and driving requires automobile insurance. The worst parts of the charge may seem to be behind you, but you are then faced with yet another consequence: trying to obtain automobile insurance after a drunk driving conviction. An experienced defense attorney can explain, and perhaps help you avoid, the full range of consequences of a drunk driving conviction.
