Important Questions for Anyone Charged with DWI:

My License was seized by the police – Is my license suspended? Do I have to wait 30 days to drive? Am I eligible for a pre-trial driving privilege? Can I drive to work? Can I drive my kids to school? If I’m convicted, will I lose the ability to drive for a year? These are some of the questions we are asked by every DWI client. Every case is different, and you need the right information based on the facts of your case.

Is My License Automatically Suspended After a DWI Arrest?

Yes, in most cases, North Carolina law mandates an immediate 30-day suspension of your license if charged with DWI. However, you might be eligible for limited driving privileges depending on the specifics of your case.

Can I Drive After 30 Days?

It depends. After 10 days of the 30-day suspension period, you may be eligible to apply for limited driving privileges, which would allow you to drive to work, school, or other court-approved locations during specific hours. If your license was suspended for 45 days, the waiting period to get limited driving privileges is 30 days.

Am I Eligible for a Pre-Trial Driving Privilege?

Possibly. Eligibility for pre-trial driving privileges varies. You must meet specific requirements, such as having a valid driver’s license at the time of the DWI charge, no prior DWI convictions within the past seven years, and more. It's important to consult with an experienced DWI lawyer in North Carolina to help ensure you meet every requirement.

Can I Drive My Kids to School or Drive to Work?

Only if you are granted a limited driving privilege. This privilege often allows for travel to and from work, school, and other necessary appointments, like medical visits.

What Happens if I’m Convicted of DWI?

A conviction leads to more severe consequences, including the possibility of losing your license for a significant period beyond the initial suspension, hefty fines, and potentially jail time. The duration of license suspension varies based on the severity of the offense and any prior DWI convictions.

Will I Lose My License for a Year If Convicted?

It's highly possible. For a first-time DWI offense, you could face a minimum suspension of one year. However, the actual length of suspension can vary based on factors like your BAC level at the time of arrest and the presence of any aggravating factors.

These are just a few of the critical questions we address for our clients. Facing DWI charges can be daunting, but getting the right answers to these questions is a crucial first step.

The state of North Carolina strictly enforces DWI laws. The repercussions of such offenses can be severe; however, we can help aid in the reduction or, in some cases, elimination of penalties related to drunk driving. We work hard to defend your rights and analyze the details of your arrest.

Part of our legal process is educating our clients on the entirety of their DWI case. We will discuss all aspects of your case and determine whether going to trial or negotiating a plea is the right choice for you.
