I read this article and found some useful information. My question about age discrimination is answered below.
"Q. ARE LICENSE PENALTIES THE SAME FOR ALL AGE GROUPS?
A. No. If you are under 21 when convicted of DWI or DWAI, your license will be revoked for at least one year. If you are found to have refused to take a chemical test, even if you are not convicted of DWI or DWAI, your license will be revoked for one year. If you commit a second such offense while you are under 21, your license will be revoked for at least one year or until you are 21, whichever is longer. In both cases, if you are enrolled in the Drinking Driver Program (DDP) and have received a conditional license, you will remain in conditional license status for the full period of revocation. In addition to the sanctions under these laws, if found guilty of using a New York State Driver License or Non-Driver Identification Card as proof of age to illegally purchase alcoholic beverages, your driver license or privilege of applying for a license, will be suspended" (1).
- Is this the case only in New York?
- What exactly is the Drinking Driver Program?
