Answer (2)
Drivers convicted of alcohol-related offenses may face both a Driver Responsibility Assessment and installation of an ignition interlock device. A BAC between .05 and .07% can lead to impaired driving charges, while New York's implied consent law requires drivers to comply with chemical testing. Therefore, the chosen answers are c) for question 1, b) for question 2, and a) for question 3.

This set of questions pertains to the legal consequences of driving under the influence (DUI) and the laws surrounding it in New York State.
A driver convicted of an alcohol-related criminal offense may be ordered to:
The correct answer is c) both a and b.
a) Pay a Driver Responsibility Assessment of $750 per year for 5 years: This is a financial penalty that may be imposed on drivers who commit serious traffic offenses, including those related to alcohol, such as DUI.
b) Install and maintain an ignition interlock device on any vehicle the driver owns: An ignition interlock device is a breathalyzer for an individual’s vehicle. It requires the driver to blow into the device before starting the vehicle to ensure they are not under the influence of alcohol.
A driver with a BAC between .05 and .07% is guilty of:
The correct answer is b) driving while ability impaired.
Driving while Ability Impaired (DWAI): In New York, if a driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is between 0.05% and 0.07%, they are considered impaired, which is a lesser offense compared to being legally intoxicated (DWI) which is typically a BAC of 0.08% or higher.
Which of the following is true about New York's implied consent law?
The correct answer is a) It applies to everyone who drives in New York State.
Implied Consent Law: This law means that by operating a motor vehicle in New York State, drivers are considered to have given their consent to chemical tests (such as breath, blood, or urine tests) to determine the alcohol or drug content in their system. Refusal to submit to such tests can result in penalties such as license suspension, regardless of the outcome of the DUI charge. The statement b) is incorrect because fines for refusing a chemical test are independent of the outcome of the original violation.
