1. Losing a Job from a DWI Charge
It is up to your own licensing board to determine the penalties- New York state will not punish you by making you lose your job
2. How the DMV Enforce DWI and DWAI Convictions
- If you have multiple DWI or DWAI over a certain amount of time, you could have your license revoked for 5, 10 and even your life time.
- If you have had 5 or more alcohol related convictions over the last 25 years, the DMV may revoke your license for life.
- If you have had several incidences of refusing a breath test, the DMV may revoke your license for several years.
3. Entering Canada with a DWI
- Canada will exclude you from entering for 5 years, which after that you can apply for a permit.
- I advise clients as a Buffalo DWI Attorney that after 10 years, you will have no issue entering Canada without restrictions.
4. DWI on a Bicycle
- New York state requires the vehicle to be motorized in order to be charged with a DWI
