First Offense DWI in New York

New York drivers who are convicted of a DWI for the first time are subject to potential jail time, fines, and license revocation for a minimum of six months.

If the conviction results from a DWI with a BAC of equal to or more than .08, the driver can only operate vehicles with an ignition interlock device from an approved provider like (Intoxalock ).

If injury or death was caused during the accident, fines and jail time will increase. Offenders who have a minor in the car will also be subject to additional penalties.

A second conviction within 10 years in New York will result in increased penalties.

A convicted driver must only operate vehicles equipped with an IID from an approved provider like (Intoxalock ).
