An aggravated DWI is something that was added some years ago in New York, and it requires a blood alcohol level of .18 or greater. An aggravated DWI conviction carries more severe penalties than a regular DWI conviction that ranges from lengthier periods of revocation of one’s driver’s license to increased fines that would be assessed by the court.
