Having a DWI On Your Record May...


Lower your chances of being approved to rent an apartment.
If you decide to try and rent an apartment one day, having a DWI on your record could really hurt your chances of being approved for renting it. Most likely, the landlord will run a background check and if they see a DWI on your record, it may be against their housing policies to rent to anyone with something like that in their past. This is only one of the many ways a DWI can affect your future. Keep reading to learn how a DWI may affect your job or job hunt.

Jeopardize your current job or job hunt.
Your employers may not think too highly of you getting a DWI, especially if your job involves a lot of driving, such as a delivery person or a truck driver. If you are searching for a new job, again, prospective employers may run background checks and just like with renting an apartment, it may be against their employment guidelines to hire you if you have a DWI on your record. Keep reading to see how a DWI can affect your car insurance payments.

Drastically increase your car insurance payments.
If you already thought your car insurance payments were high, you are in for a rude awakening. A DWI can increase your car insurance payments by an extreme sum of money. This can present a challenge for you as you try to afford to pay your bills each month.
