If you have an outstanding warrant for alcohol or drug-related offenses that have nothing to do with driving, it will appear on your national driving record. However, whether it appears on your state driving record or not is usually at the judge’s discretion.
A judge may recommend that your non-driving related alcohol or drug-related offenses be added to your motor vehicle driving records if he or she feels that you are likely to commit these offenses again, only next time you may be behind the wheel of a car.
Refusal to take a drug or alcohol test can also end up on your driving record, even if you are nowhere near a motor vehicle at the time of your refusal. If a law enforcement officer asks you to take either type of test and you say no, it could result in arrest and then be reported to the DMV by a judge; the DMV can then add it to your official DMV record.
Convictions dating as far back as ten years may appear on your personal driving records. Before applying for a new job – especially one that requires driving – or buying insurance, you should check your driving records online to get a clear picture of the status of your state-maintained driving profile.
