Ooh, and I should have added ... at 10 years old, it should be fine .... from what I've read anyway.

It depends on the company. Some will take as long as it is over five or 10 years. Some limit it to one in a lifetime and some limit it to two. Others ewy NO DUI's ever.

You'll have to look around.
