Possible Penalties for an Underage DWI in New York

The good news is that as someone younger than 21, you aren't facing criminal charges if this is a DUI charge for having a blood alcohol concentration of .02% but under .08%. Of course, losing your driver's license for months at a time can still cause issues in your personal life, and you would still have to pay civil penalties.

However, if an underage driver has a BAC that would be high enough to get a DWI charge as an adult, that is, a BAC above .08%, then you could face the same misdemeanor or felony penalties that an adult would.

For a first-time underage DWI with a BAC above .08%, you could face:

  • Up to a year in jail
  • Up to $1,000 in fines
  • 6 months of driver's license revocation
  • An ignition interlock device

For a second or third underage DWI conviction, you could be looking at up to:

  • 4 to 7 years in prison
  • $5,000 to $10,000 in fines
  • 1 year, 5 years, or perhaps longer driver's license revocation
  • Ignition interlock device

It may be possible to negotiate a prison sentence to one of community service instead, but that would require the tireless work of a skilled defense lawyer.
