One of the unfortunate consequences of a DUI arrest and/or conviction is that insurance companies will view you as a "high risk" driver. Many of the larger companies, such as AAA and Geico, may not offer coverage, while others will quote rates two or three times higher than before the drunk driving incident. Generally speaking, this is price-gouging, also known as the "DUI tax": the statistics on accidents for first offenders simply do not justify the high premiums. The simple fact is that quotes vary greatly from one company to another: price shopping is strongly advised.

Los Angeles DUI Laws and Lawyers provides a resource for those accused of drunk driving. It is also intended as an answer to those organizations working for ever more severe laws, greater use of unfair evidence and procedures, increasing destruction of our constitutional rights, and a new age of prohibition. See the National Motorists Association's website, which offers alternative commentary on issues such as DUI roadblocks, inappropriate criminal penalties and license revocations/suspensions imposed by the officer in the field.
