DWI Charges in New York
Driving while intoxicated can impact your coordination, judgment, and overall ability to drive. In New York, depending on your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), the penalties of a conviction can be potentially severe. If your BAC is .18 or above, you will be charged with an aggravated DWI. Moreover, if you have multiple offenses on your record, subsequent convictions will pack even steeper consequences.
Here is a list of some of the penalties you may face:
- For a first-time aggravated DWI, you may pay a $1,000 to $2,500 fine, be sentenced to 1 year in jail, and your licensed will be revoked for at least a year.
- For a first-time DWI, you may pay a $500 to $1,000 fine, be sentenced to 1 year in jail, and your license will be revoked for at least 6 months.
- For a second DWI, you may pay a $1,000 to $5,000 fine, be sentenced to 4 years in jail, and your license will be revoked for at least a year.
- If you were driving while impaired by a combination of drugs and alcohol (DWAI), you may pay a $500 to $1,000 fine, be sentenced to 1 year in jail, and your license may be revoked for at least 6 months.
You may face even more severe penalties for multiple alcohol or drug violations that occur within a 25-year period. If you have 3 or more alcohol or drug-related refusals or convictions within a 10-year time period, it may result in a permanent revocation.
