Some individuals are under the mistaken impression that if you receive DUI conviction in a certain state, you will only lose your driving privileges in that particular state.  The Interstate Driver’s License Compact (DLC) is an agreement between 45 states to share information regarding certain types of criminal convictions, including DUI.  Because of this agreement, if a resident of one state gets convicted of drunk driving in another state, the driver’s home state will be notified, possibly resulting in additional penalties like driver’s license suspension.
