In general or in NYS in particular

Enjoy the information, and just remember;The best way to avoid learning about such laws first-hand, would be to never put yourself in a situation for which they would apply to you!

The following are the drug and alcohol related violations in New York State:

DWI: Driving While Intoxicated; .08 BAC or higher or other evidence of intoxication

DWAI: Driving While Ability Impaired (by alcohol); .05 BAC to .07 BAC, or other evidence of impairment.

DWAI / Drugs: Driving While Ability Impaired (by a drug that is not alcohol).

Zero Tolerance Law: A driver who is less than 21 years of age and who drives with a .02 BAC to .07 BAC violates the Zero Tolerance Law.

Chemical Test Refusal: A driver who refuses to take a chemical test (normally a test of breath, blood or urine) can receive a driver license revocation and must pay a $300 civil penalty ($350 for a driver of commercial vehicles) to apply for a new driver license. A driver who refuses a chemical test during the five years after a DWI-related charge will have their driver license revoked for one year and must pay a $750 civil
