Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is the crime of operating a motor vehicle (automobile, truck, motorcycle, boat) while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Suffolk, Nassau, and Queens Counties are very tough on drunk drivers and they are getting tougher all the time. The penalties, even for some first offenders can include going to jail, forfeiting your car, and long term revoking of your license. If you are pulled over for a traffic offense of any kind, a cop can ask to smell your breath and look for signs of your intoxication. If you have been in an accident with a car, truck or pedestrian, even if it was not your fault, the officer will also have the right to examine you. The officer can demand that you perform field sobriety tests. Once you are arrested, you will be asked to take a breath test, blood test or urine test. If you refuse, your license will be suspended immediately. Being arrested for driving while intoxicated in New York State could result in serious legal consequences for you. You may have to pay heavy fines, do community service, be ordered to have drug and alcohol treatment, serve a sentence of probation, have your license suspended and even be sent to prison.
