Someone got a DUI in my car!
What will happen if someone else gets a DUI in my car? Answered by Lawyer Christopher Beard in Birminghman, AL
My boyfriend and I live together and he doesn’t have a driver’s license. Last night he took my car very late at night (while I was sleeping) and ended up getting arrested. I’m fairly certain that one of two things happened. Best case scenario, he was pulled over and arrested for driving without a license. Worst case scenario, he was drunk and was pulled over for DUI and driving without a license. My main concern is that this will somehow impact my record or that I may get a ticket or something since it was my car, but I was also wondering what the consequences will be for him?
