A: A pending DUI will show on your DOL record. Not all the info on your record is actually reported when requests are made. For example, a pending DUI hearing would not show up on an insurance abstract. Traffic infractions do not show up unless they are found committed by the court. This is different from the State law enforcement database where all of filed cases show up.
