DUI law is a YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) topic. We hold our content to a higher standard than typical legal-information sites: primary sources, attorney review in the relevant state, dated revisions, and visible corrections.
Sourcing
Every legal claim — statutes, fines, jail terms, license actions — must cite a primary source: the state code, DMV publication, or court rule. Statistics cite NHTSA, FBI UCR, CDC, BJS, or the state DOT. Sources are listed at the bottom of each page.
Research process
Drafts are produced with AI assistance using Perplexity Sonar (which returns inline citations), then automatically filtered: low-quality domains (Reddit, Quora, social) are dropped, dead links are removed, and any major legal/numeric claim must be backed by an authoritative .gov, .edu, or trusted legal-publisher source.
Attorney review
Before publication, each state guide is reviewed by an attorney admitted in that state. Reviewer name, bar number, jurisdiction, and review date appear at the top and bottom of the page.
Updates
State pages are reviewed at least annually, and immediately after a known statutory change. Last-reviewed dates are visible on every page.
Corrections
Spot an error? Email corrections@duiguide.us. We post a dated correction note when content is materially changed.
AI disclosure
We use AI tools to draft and structure content. AI is never the final authority — every legal claim is verified against primary sources and reviewed by a licensed attorney before publication.
Independence
Sponsored placements (insurance, IID, rehab, attorney referrals) are clearly labeled and never influence the legal information in our state guides.

Safety notice and legal disclaimer
Never drive after drinking or using impairing substances. If you have been arrested or charged with a DUI/DWI, contact a licensed attorney in your state immediately — administrative license deadlines often run within days of arrest.
