In New York, your license will be suspended pending prosecution of the DWI. Your physical license will be taken from you at your arraignment.
Drivers may end a case in a matter of days if they plead guilty or immediately accept a plea bargain offered by the prosecution. DUI cases that go to trial can take over a year to resolve in some cases. DUI cases are often broken up into different stages.
What Time of Day Do Most DUI Arrests and Accidents Occur? While DUI arrests and accidents can occur at any time of day, there are some hours when there is a higher risk of encountering a driver under the influence. The period of time from midnight to AM is the most dangerous time to be on the road.
If law enforcement catches you driving with drugs or alcohol in your system that exceeds the legal limit, you may be charged with driving under the influence—also known as a DUI or Operating Under the Influence, also known as OUI.
The punishment for a first DUI varies by state but often includes fines, license suspension, probation, mandatory alcohol education, and possibly community service. Jail time is rare for first offenses but may apply in cases of high blood alcohol content or accidents.
