New York DWI DUI Hardship License

After your arrest for a DWI / DUI in New York, your driver’s license will be administratively suspended at your arraignment and remain suspended until the end of your case.

If you are an out of state driver, your privileges to drive in New York will be suspended.

But…. state law does provide you an opportunity to try to get a hardship drivers license in New York while your case is pending to drive to and from work…. if a court is satisfied that you are eligible.

The factors that the court will consider are as follows:

  1. You must not have refused to take a chemical test;
  2. You must not have had a previous DWI conviction within the last five years,;
  3. You must testify at the hardship hearing that with out your drivers license you would suffer extreme hardship and that there is no viable alternative means of getting to work other than driving yourself, you may have to provide documentation to support your hardship claims;
  4. You must have a witness testify who supports and confirms your hardship claims;
  5. Additional witnesses must confirm that there are no family members, friends or coworkers that could drive you to work.
