Ellicottville DWI Lawyer Discusses the Penalties for Driving While Intoxicated by Alcohol
As a Ellicottville DWI Lawyer, I often get questions about the penalties for driving while intoxicated by alcohol (DWAI). During a DWI investigation, you may be charged with driving while your ability is impaired by alcohol. This means that your blood test reading was a 0.06 or 0.07, lower than the threshold for driving while intoxicated. This is a noncriminal traffic infraction. If you are convicted of driving while impaired by alcohol, you will not get a criminal record. However, your license may be suspended, and the court may impose mandatory surcharges and fines.
