Understanding New York's Driver's License Suspension Laws
The New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has broad authority to suspend or revoke your driver's license for a wide array of reasons. Understanding the specific cause of your suspension is the foundational step toward getting your license back and defending against any new charges. A suspended license attorney in New York can help identify the exact reason for your suspension.
Common Reasons for Driver's License Suspension in New York:
- Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Violations (VTL § 1192): These are among the most common and severe reasons for license suspension or revocation.
- Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test (VTL § 1194): If you are arrested for a DWI/DWAI and refuse to submit to a chemical test (breath, blood, or urine), your license is immediately suspended at the time of arrest.
- Accumulation of Points (Negligent Operator - VTL § 510): New York uses a point system to track moving traffic violations. Accumulating too many points within a specific timeframe will trigger a suspension or revocation by the DMV.
- Failure to Respond to Traffic Tickets or Pay Fines/Surcharges (VTL § 510(4)): If you receive a traffic ticket and fail to answer it in court (appear or pay) by the due date, the court will notify the DMV, leading to an indefinite license suspension.
Penalties for Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License
Driving with a suspended or revoked license in New York is a serious criminal offense, not merely a minor traffic infraction. This charge is known as Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle (AUO). The penalties are significant and vary depending on the degree of AUO, which is determined by the original reason for the suspension and whether it's a first or repeat offense. If you are caught driving while suspended, you absolutely need a suspended license lawyer in New York.
