IF YOU GET 2 DW's within 10 years...
You CANNOT get your license back
unless you take a Drug/Alcohol Program
In addition to potentially facing FELONY-LEVEL charges, if you get a 2nd DWI conviction within 10 years of the first, then you MUST enroll in an OASAS approved drug/alcohol program to ever get your full driving privileges back.
What is "OASAS" ?
It stands for Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services.
The DMV has your fate in its hands with respect to your New York driving privilege.
In practical terms, you could complete an OASAS program as required by the DMV --and they could tell you to get more treatment or impose further conditions prior to you getting any driving privileges back.
If the facts and circumstances of your DWI convictions were particularly bad (if you hurt somebody or killed somebody), then it is within the discretion of the DMV to revoke your driving privileges for LIFE.
As mentioned in many prior posts, when it comes to your ability to drive --remember, it is a PRIVILEGE and NOT A RIGHT.
The DMV has tons of power to withhold your license and never give it back.
