Prior drunk driving convictions can substantially increase your punishment in DUI cases, but most states have a “lookback” or “washout” period after which prior convictions can’t be used to increase your punishment.

For example, many states have a 10-year lookback period, meaning that if a decade or more passes between your last DUI arrest and your current case, the later arrest will be treated as a first-time drunk driving case.

Billy Ballew was arrested Wednesday at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. He reportedly was carrying a mixed drink when he was pulled over and refused to take a breathalyzer test.

Ballew told a reporter that he believes he’ll beat his DUI charge because his arrest occurred on private property - at the Speedway - but a prosecutor said Georgia law doesn’t distinguish between public and private property when it comes to drunk driving.

Some drivers refuse a breath or blood test after a DUI arrest because they hope it will help them avoid a drunk driving conviction, but prosecutors can typically use a chemical test refusal as evidence of ‘consciousness of guilt,’ meaning that the driver wouldn’t have refused unless he or she knew it was impossible to pass.

Also, in many states, a refusal can be charged as a separate criminal offense.Most reputable DUI lawyers advise their clients against refusing a chemical test after a drunk driving arrest.
