Convicted of a DUI in Idaho?
Marijuana Isn't Legal
Washington and Oregon have both legalized the use of marijuana, but the Gem State, Idaho, hasn’t followed in their footsteps yet. This makes driving under the influence of marijuana illegal. Many who come over from Washington or Oregon forget that this law is still in place. Even possession and use for medical reasons is still illegal. If you are caught driving with marijuana in your system, you can be in pretty serious trouble in Idaho. It may seem like it will be difficult to get any insurance after this happens, but that’s where we come in. We know the ropes on getting great insurance rates, even when you’ve made a few mistakes.
Idaho's Marijuana Penalties
Idaho has one of the strictest marijuana laws and harshest punishments of all the states. If you hold any more than three ounces of pot, you can be convicted of a felony. If you are caught selling marijuana, this could lead to 10 years in prison and $30,000 in fines. The punishment depends on the amount of marijuana and whether this is a first-time offense or repeated. Despite the strict laws, if you’ve found yourself on the other side of the law, and are in need of car insurance, we can help you. We are familiar with many cases and finding insurance for everyone.
Getting Insurance after DUI
Idaho takes DUI’s very seriously. If you have a DUI in Idaho, you are required to file for an SR22. Car insurance in Idaho is actually one of the cheapest in the nation, except for when you have a spotty record with convictions like a DUI. In Idaho, the premiums have a significant jump for those who don’t have a perfect record, or are young drivers. We specialize in insuring high-risk individuals in Idaho, and we are well versed in the various options and discounts available within the state.
Pot hole: How does marijuana use affect your auto insurance?
Nine states — Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Nevada, Oregon and Washington — and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana.
