QUESTION
How can a state hold a DUI against me when I'm not and was not a resident?
Asked on Dec 11th, 2015 on DUI/DWI - Michigan
More details to this question:
I had my license revoked while being a resident. I moved as a permanent resident when 5 years later, I got a DUI where I am a permanent resident but the other state holds it against me and won't take line off my license. Before leaving, I completed my probation fines and fees and I've also done the same here.

Some types of traffic convictions (such as DUIs) remain on your driving record forever. Also, keep in mind that all states share traffic violation information with each other. Otherwise, people could do whatever they wanted (rack up a bunch of DUI convictions, for example), then move to another state to avoid the consequences.
