How do you remove a DUI from your driving record in California?

Can a DUI be expunged from your driving record in California? I got one once when I was younger and I’m afraid it makes me look bad on job applications.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to remove a DUI from your driving record in California.
California DUI laws
are pretty strict, so a charge like this will follow you for a long time.
However, there is some good news: your driving record typically won’t come up on background checks performed by potential employers. The only types of jobs that might be affected by a previous DUI are the ones that involve driving, like delivery jobs.
Still, even if your employment isn’t affected, your
car insurance
rates definitely will be. To make sure you’re still getting the best possible deal, check out the

app, where you can see a list of policy quotes that work for you in minutes. The average user saves over $800 per year!
