Carmel DWI Defense Lawyer for Multiple Offenses

Understanding Multiple DWI Convictions & Penalties in New York

New York has among the strictest penalties for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These penalties may include license suspension or revocation, jail, fines, drug and alcohol counseling, and other consequences.

Previous convictions can increase penalties.

• Two or More Offenses: An individual with two or more convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in the past 25 years must complete their entire suspension or revocation, even when they complete the Impaired Driver Program.
• Three or Four Offenses: If the person is arrested for DWI three or more times within 25 years, but committed no serious driving offense, the person will have their licenses revoked for five years in addition to the statutory revocation period, and an ignition interlock device will be required for another five years. If the person has committed a serious driving offense, the driver’s license will be permanently revoked.
• Five or More Offenses: A driver with five or more offenses for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol on their lifetime driving record will be permanently denied a driver’s license. The driver is considered a Persistently Dangerous Driver.
