This is the second video of discussing the New York charge of Driving While Ability Impaired Drugs . DWAI Drugs charge (VTL 1192 (4)) is a criminal misdemeanor as opposed to the alcohol New York DWAI charge (VTL 1192 (1)) which is a traffic violation.

1. With a NY DWAI drugs charge you will generally not have your driver's license (or driving privilege) suspended pending prosecution (at the initial appearance/arraignment) like in a DWI alcohol case.

2. You will not be eligible for a conditional license with the DMV like in a DWI alcohol case. You will likely be eligible to a restricted license privilege once your case is finalized.

3. Many police departments use the Standardized Field Sobriety tests to assess drug impairment. This is because they lack training in "Drug Recognition Impairment," and this is fraught with many issues, and potential defense challenges.
