DUI / DWI Law Answers

A DUI conviction stays on your record permanently.  In North Carolina however, by virtue of something known as the "look back period", any prior DUI committed more than 7 years ago, is not considered when imposing a sentence for a subsequent DUI; the latter offense will be treated as your first offense since the court will only "look back" 7 years into your record.

As for what the penalties were back in 1995, your best bet to find the answer to your question would be to contact an experienced attorney that specializes in DUI cases; they could probably tell you.
