The New York Universal Notice of Re-entry — Impaired Driver Program is a program of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles that helps to ensure the safety of individuals on the road. The program is designed to help drivers who have been convicted of an impaired driving offense, such as DWI or DUI, re-enter the roads safely and responsibly. The program consists of several components, including an assessment of the driver’s risk factors, a period of restricted driving privileges, and a check-in process. The assessment phase of the program consists of an in-person evaluation by a qualified professional who will assess the driver’s risk factors and recommend a course of action. The restricted driving period requires the driver to take part in activities that focus on safe driving and alcohol and drug use prevention. The activities vary by state, but may include attending a drug or alcohol awareness class, completing an alcohol and drug assessment, and/or attending an education course. During this period, the driver may also be required to install an ignition interlock device (DID) in their vehicle. Finally, the check-in phase of the program requires drivers to periodically check in with their local DMV office to show that they are following the terms of the program. This may include providing proof of attendance at any required activities, submitting to drug or alcohol testing, and/or providing proof that their vehicle is properly equipped with and DID. The New York Universal Notice of Re-entry — Impaired Driver Program is an important tool in helping to keep impaired drivers off the roads and promoting safe driving.
