Compared to other states, you can say that New York is somehow not hard against dui offenders. But this should not make you feel at ease in case you are planning to drink and drive along the streets of New York or Manhattan area; DUI is still a crime. 

So just like any state, New York DUI Law observes the Per Se BAC Level of .08% as the limit for a driver to get charged with DUI. 0.08% and above of alcohol concentration in your blood spells trouble already. If you are 21 years old and below, driving with only .02% BAC, that spells trouble too. High alcohol concentration in the body, even if you consider yourself an expert driver (and drinker!), can cause driving impairment. In the event of a traffic accident, or traffic violation such as overspeeding and New York authorities found your BAC higher than .18%, you will be subjected for penalty enhancement.  

As mentioned earlier, the arms of New York DUI Law is not that "cruel" to dui offenders. Unlike in New Jersey, for example, on your 3rd dui conviction your license will be suspended for 10 years. In New York, 6 months only (2nd and 3rd offense) without mandatory incarceration.  

You can also plead for a provisional license in case you need to drive for work. But like I said, there is no reason to be happy that you are within New York when the authorities apprehend you for drunk driving.  

DUI is a crime and you will carry it with you until you get yourself cleared of it. So how are you going to get rid of that and make sure it will not affect your future? An expert in New York DUI Law is the answer.
