What Happens To Your Driver’s License After Charged With A DWI in NJ

Charged With A DWI

In New Jersey, if you’re charged with a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) offense, your driver’s license will typically be suspended. The duration of the suspension depends on various factors, including whether it’s your first offense or if you’ve had previous DWI convictions.

1. For a first offense DWI in New Jersey, your driver’s license can be suspended for up to three months, and you may face additional penalties such as fines, mandatory alcohol education programs, and community service.
2. For subsequent offenses, the penalties become more severe, including longer license suspensions, higher fines, and possibly even jail time.
3. Additionally, New Jersey has an ignition interlock device program. If your license is suspended due to a DWI conviction, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle once your driving privileges are restored. This device requires you to pass a breathalyzer test before starting your car, serving as a measure to prevent intoxicated driving.

It’s important to consult with a qualified attorney who specializes in DWI cases to understand the specific consequences and legal options available to you based on your individual circumstances.
