100% of car accidents are caused by people who drive cars.

What if a deer runs in front of you?

Nate, A kid I know got 3 or 4 DWI's before he was 18. And 1 since. They have now changed the law over here that your 4th will give you on average 2yrs in the State Penn over her in SF. The first one like you stated even if it stayed in the state got knocked down to a reckless. (This decision will not matter to the insurance companies, it's still classified as a major violation and is rated the same as DWI). There is a good chance that your insurance company will want to drop your folks at their next renewal if they pull his DMV report and see that. Some companies will move him over to a Non-Standard (high risk) policy and your folks can sign an exclusion of coverage for him that he is not driving you parents car and coverage would not apply for him as driver. Also keep your eye out for this little unknown. If SD sends notice he is to provide and SR-22 (not Letter of Experience, Binder or Insurance Card) his license is gone and he just doesn't know it yet. Some states will do this and they will want the SR-22 filed in their state on their state sr-22 document. If you are not able to provide this they will flag his DL and WY will suspend his license until he clears up the issue in SD. The problem with this is that the DMV reps doesn't have a clue on insurance regs and insurance companies compliance filings with the state. YOU WILL NOT GET AN SR-22 that says South Dakota on it if your LICENSE,or RESIDENCY is in WY per insurance regulations. However if the jurisdiction has been handed over to WY this may not happen, just pray you never see a letter from the State of SD requesting the SR-22 or Statement of Financial Responsibility (same thing).

Also in SD it is false that if the keys are not in the vehicle that you cant get a DWI. In this state if there is a possibility that the vehicle may be operated you may be charged. Start your car with a screwdriver your getting one. Toss your keys out the window, you'd better not know which direction they are. A guy I know pulled off near mitchell and tossed the keys out the window. Cop stopped and checked on him. Asked where the keys were. Guy told him he tossed them out the window and pointed the direction. Cop found them and determined that they were not "lost" and arrested him on DWI.

Also in the long run so long as he has only the 1 DWI he'll be ok. Actually from a risk standpoint your insurance company will love to do business with him. Risk statistics show that men with one DUI in their past are scared straight from their experience and have fewer accidents, violations and claims. If you get a second it's not so and you rate will go up. At his age though for the next few years your parents are not going to be happy with the higher premium or the hasle to get him off their policy. They may as well start shopping for a non standard policy about 2months before their next renewal.

i guy i worked for got his dui that way. it was winter sleeping the back of the car with engine running at a grocery store. he never drove he was dropped off there after a party. thats pretty low if you ask me

Well in ND anyways if the keys are in the vehicle you get an APC. (actual physical control) you get pretty much every consequence but the jacked up insurance.

BUT if the keys are not in the vehicle, they can't do chit. I verified this with my lawyer when I was taking care of some legal junk.

If a deer runs in front of you and you're driving - he'll claim it's your fault.

If the deer is driving and you run in front of him...
