In New York, aggravated driving while intoxicated (Agg-DWI) carries tougher penalties than a regular DWI. At what BAC does Agg-DWI begin?
Correct answer: 0.18 percent
Why
A BAC of 0.18 is more than twice New York's DWI level. A first Agg-DWI conviction is a misdemeanor with a fine of $1,000 to $2,500, up to one year in jail and a license revocation of at least one year, and the court must order an ignition interlock. Driving while intoxicated or impaired by drugs with a child aged 15 or younger in the vehicle is also aggravated DWI and a felony under Leandra's Law.
