Our DWI legal services teams provide you with insight and guidance on hundreds of DWI issues. Trust us to navigate your case with expertise and dedication.
Commercial Vehicles: Per Se DWI charges in New York State are a specific category of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) offenses that pertain to individuals who hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and are operating a commercial vehicle. These charges are characterized by a lower permissible blood alcohol content (BAC) limit than for non-commercial drivers.
Snowmobiling While Ability Impaired (SWAI) in New York State refers to the offense of operating a snowmobile while impaired by alcohol or drugs, to the extent that it impairs your ability to do so safely. In New York, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for operating a snowmobile is the same as that for operating a motor vehicle, which is typically 0.08%. If a snowmobiler’s BAC is found to be at or above this limit, they can be charged with SWAI.
Snowmobiling While Ability Impaired by the Use of a Drug (SWAI-Drugs) is a serious offense in the state of New York that pertains to operating a snowmobile while under the influence of drugs. This offense is subject to the same legal framework as driving under the influence (DUI) for motor vehicles, but it specifically applies to snowmobiles. In New York, it is illegal to operate a snowmobile while impaired by the use of drugs, which can include both illegal narcotics and prescription medications if they impair a person’s ability to operate the vehicle safely.
Snowmobiling While Intoxicated (SWI) in New York State is a legal term used to describe the offense of operating a snowmobile while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which impairs your ability to operate the snowmobile safely. This offense is treated seriously in New York, given the potential dangers associated with impaired snowmobiling.
Boating While Ability Impaired (BWAI) is a charge in New York State (NYS) that pertains to operating a boat while impaired by alcohol or drugs, but without necessarily exceeding the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit associated with more serious charges like Boating While Intoxicated (BWI). This offense is a part of NYS’s efforts to enhance safety on its waterways and reduce the risks associated with impaired boating.
Boating While Ability Impaired by the Use of a Drug (BWAI-Drugs) in the state of New York is a legal charge that pertains to operating a boat while under the influence of drugs. Just like its counterpart for alcohol (BWI-Alcohol), BWAI-Drugs is designed to ensure the safety of individuals on the water by prohibiting the operation of a vessel when impaired by the influence of certain substances.
Aggravated DWI is a more serious charge than a regular DWI in New York State. It is defined as driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.18% or higher. The legal limit for drivers 21 years of age and older is 0.08%. So, an aggravated DWI charge means that the driver was twice over the legal limit.
Circumventing an interlock device for another individual, also known as “Circumventing an Interlock Device for Another” charges in New York State, involves actions that undermine the effectiveness of an interlock device, typically required as part of a sentence for alcohol-related convictions like driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI).
In New York State, “Knowingly Renting a Vehicle without an Interlock Device” pertains to legal charges associated with the use of ignition interlock devices (IIDs). IIDs are breathalyzer instruments installed in vehicles to prevent individuals convicted of certain alcohol-related offenses from operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

If you get a DWI while holding a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), the consequences are more severe than for non-commercial drivers. In New York, and most states, if you are convicted of a DWI:
Immediate CDL Suspension: Your CDL will be suspended for at least one year, even if you were driving your personal vehicle at the time of the offense.
Higher Standards: The legal limit for commercial drivers is lower—0.04% BAC, compared to 0.08% for non-commercial drivers.
Permanent CDL Revocation: A second DWI conviction typically leads to a lifetime disqualification from holding a CDL.
Additional Penalties: You will also face standard DWI penalties, such as fines, jail time, and additional suspensions for your regular driver’s license.
Losing your CDL can have significant consequences for your career, as it may prevent you from driving commercially again.
Snowmobiling accidents are most likely to occur under the following conditions:
At Night: Reduced visibility and increased risk of impaired driving make nighttime snowmobiling more dangerous.
During Weekends or Holidays: Increased recreational activity can lead to more congested trails and higher risk of collisions.
High Speeds: Excessive speed is a common factor in snowmobiling accidents, especially on unfamiliar or challenging terrain.
Poor Weather Conditions: Low visibility, heavy snow, or icy trails can increase the risk of losing control.
Alcohol Consumption: Many snowmobiling accidents are linked to impaired judgment and coordination due to alcohol consumption.
Riding with caution, avoiding alcohol, and paying attention to trail conditions can help prevent accidents.
