Question 1 of 7

Is this your first DUI arrest in the last 10 years?

Any prior DUI conviction — anywhere — within 10 years generally disqualifies ARD.

Question 2 of 7

Have you completed ARD (or a similar diversion program) for a DUI in the last 10 years?

Under Act 58 of 2025 (§ 3802(h)), a second DUI within 10 years of a prior ARD is a new standalone offense.

Question 3 of 7

Did the incident involve an accident causing serious bodily injury or death?

Cases involving serious bodily injury or a fatality are typically excluded from ARD.

Question 4 of 7

Was a passenger under age 14 in the vehicle at the time?

Presence of a minor passenger is a statutory factor most DAs weigh against ARD admission.

Question 5 of 7

Did you have a valid Pennsylvania driver's license at the time of the stop?

Driving on a suspended license during a DUI often blocks ARD in many counties.

Question 6 of 7

Do you have any prior felony or violent-crime convictions?

A qualifying prior record (see § 3807(a)(1)(ii)) will typically disqualify ARD.

Question 7 of 7

In which Pennsylvania county was the arrest?

ARD is DA-discretionary and rules vary by county.
