Kelley Crime

I was driving and had not turned on my lights completely according to the cop when pulling out of the parking lot. He asked if I had been drinking and I said yes. He then made me take the field test that I completed perfectly.

I got my 2nd OWI but was able to get it brought down to my first offense, due to stipulations of my prior. I was wondering if the DOT will view this as my first offense as well, and if so will I be able to get my license reinstated sooner.

Hard to say, as I do not practice in IA. Generally, however, the DOT's record is separate from your criminal record....
