DID YOU KNOW....
That the NY DMV MAY restore
your FULL DRIVING PRIVILEGES
Upon Completion of the DDP Program?
Yes. If you were a FIRST OFFENDER for DWI or DWAI (alcohol) in New York, then you are eligible to take the Drinking Driver Program (a.k.a. DDP) which will allow you to obtain a CONDITIONAL LICENSE during your court-ordered suspension or revocation of your driving privilege.
HOWEVER many PEOPLE do NOT KNOW that... if you successfully complete the 7 week DDP then many first time offenders (with otherwise clean driving records) MAY be given their full NY driving privileges back.
It is a common enough occurrence that I encourage ALL OF MY CLIENTS to take the DDP as soon as they can take it.
There is never a guarantee that the DMV will automatically restore your full privilege, but it is definitely worth it to take and complete the DDP for the ability to get the CONDITIONAL LICENSE.
Of course, there may be OTHER criteria for you to get full driving privileges. These include paying outstanding fines or civil DMV penalties, following up on required treatment or any other requirement set forth by the DDP or the DMV.
We always have our clients get an independent drug and alcohol evaluation BEFORE the case is completed to protect our clients from the DDP requiring an additional evaluation. This process is explained at our first consultation.
