However, anyone who is eligible for post-conviction conditional driving privileges must be enrolled in the DDP in order to obtain and keep post-conviction conditional driving privileges. Generally, a DDP participant is someone who has been convicted of a DWI-related offense and has not been convicted of a DWI-related offense within the last five years or has not previously been enrolled in the DDP within the last five years.
A person is generally not eligible to enroll in the DDP if any of the following situations apply. Travel to an eligible DMV office and apply in person.
Bring an acceptable form of picture identification, together with the application fee. At sentencing for a DWI-related conviction, the court will hand the convicted person a piece of paper called an Order of Suspension or Revocation and also a two-sided piece of paper with instructions about how to enroll in the DDP. If the court does not hand out the DMV instruction form, an attorney can obtain and provide a copy or the DMV may send one through the mail. Payment of the additional enrollment fee is expected at the first class.
Participants can be dropped from the DDP for not paying fees, not attending class, or generally performing unsatisfactorily in the DDP. For details relating to the Impaired Driver Program including eligibility and what the program looks like, you may download the attached. Completion of this hour program spread over 7 weeks will enable qualifying motorists to fulfill court requirements and potentially reduce the length of their suspension period. If convicted of an alcohol or drug related driving violation, your license or privilege to drive in New York State will be revoked or suspended.
If the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles determines you are eligible, and you do apply, for a conditional license or a conditional driving privilege, you will be mandated to participate in the New York State Impaired Driver Program.
The court may also mandate the Impaired Driver Program as a condition of your sentence. This does not guarantee you will be granted a conditional license or conditional driving privileges, but you would still be required to take the program.
As of January, As a result participants are recommended to develop a personal action plan to identify and address harmful choices that put all New Yorkers at risk for death, injury and other losses. Other fees may also be required in certain cases. If placed on probation because of this conviction, you also must bring written permission from the sentencing court or your probation officer, which allows you to apply for a license.
Select the County in which you wish to attend the IDP. The clerk will then give you information regarding the dates, times, and locations of the classes to select from.
Participants select their own location with start date. As an IDP participant, you must attend all seven 7 weekly classroom sessions for a total of 16 hours. Educating drivers convicted of VTL crimes starts with identifying high-risk behaviors and teaching students how to change their conduct. This education is not only individually based, but in group session environments upon the completion of individual screening. Keep in mind that participants can be referred to and for further mandatory treatment.
Treatment in a classroom setting consists of weekly two to three-hour periods for a total of sixteen hours. These classes may involve lectures, multimedia presentations or whatever the instructor deems appropriate.
If you are referred for additional treatment by court or the IDP you will be required to obtain a formal substance abuse assessment. These additional or further assessments can result from more than one alcohol or drug-related driving conviction within a ten-year period, an arrest for a drug or DWI offense while still enrolled in the IDP or appearing at a classroom session drunk or impaired.
If you disapprove of your assessment findings you may pursue a second professional but cannot challenge this subsequent assessment. Remember, if the findings of your assessment are that you must enroll in or complete a secondary program for alcohol or substance abuse, then it is mandatory that you do so. Should you refuse or not follow through, then you will be removed from the IDP and stripped of your conditional license. At this juncture you may be able to apply for a new license or to have your regular privileges restored in full.
Keep in mind that even if you successfully finish the program you may not ultimately avail yourself of these benefits if, for example, you have more than one DWI or DWAI offense on your record, your conditional license was already terminated, or you were not at least 21 years old when you were arrested.
Merely because you enroll in the IDP does not mean you will always see it through to the end and receive the benefits associated with completion. Keep in mind that if you would like to re-enroll you need approval to do so but you will not be given a new conditional license.
