What are the penalties for driving while impaired by alcohol in the state?
I am often asked as a Buffalo DWI Attorney what the penalties are for driving while impaired by alcohol in the state. This means your blood test reading was between a .06 and a .07, below the DWI threshold of .08. I advise clients as a Buffalo DWI Attorney that this is a noncriminal infraction, you will not have a criminal record but you could have a suspended license, and hefty fines.
