In addition to paying any fines, fees, penalties and surcharges authorized by New York Law law, you may have to pay a "Driver Responsibility Assessment" for certain violations that occur on or after November 18, 2004, that result in a conviction or administrative finding. Your learner permit, driver license, or driving privileges will be suspended if you do not make these payments.
If you are convicted of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), or Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) or Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs, or if you are found to have refused to submit to a chemical test, you will be required to pay a driver responsibility assessment of $250 each year for the next three years for a total of $750.
If you are convicted of one or more traffic violations resulting in six points in any 18-month period, you will be required to pay $100 each year for the next three years. For each additional point accumulated during that period, you will be required to pay another $25 per point every year for three years. For information on how points are assessed, see "The Point System" in Chapter 2 of the New York State Driver's Manual. Completion of a motor vehicle accident prevention course will not reduce the calculation of points affecting the driver responsibility assessment. For further information, contact your Rensselaer County DWI Attorney.
