The length of your license suspension depends on a few different factors. For instance, if your BAC reading was between .08 and .10 and this was a first offense, you will probably be able to begin the process of reinstatement in as a few as three months.

If your BAC reading was .10 or above on a first offense, your suspension will last between 7 months and one year.

On a second offense, you’ll lose your license for two years. On a third offense, you won’t be able to have a driver’s license in New Jersey for a decade.

And the suspension of your license is only one of the punitive steps New Jersey applies to drunk drivers.

As part of your DUI/DWI sentence, you’ll have to report to the IDRC in your county for evaluation over a given period of time.

While there, you’ll meet with a counselor, fill out forms, and attend educational sessions. IDRC will determine what additional interventions may be necessary, from in-patient substance abuse treatment to self-help programs and groups.

And of course, you’ll pay the IDRC for their help.

How long you’ll be at the IDRC depends on whether this is your first conviction for drunk driving. First offenders should expect at least 12 hours in the IDRC served over a couple of days, while second offenders are detained for 48 hours in regional IDRC centers for more intensive evaluation.

These are consequences of conviction. Matthew Reisig has defended more than 1000 people charged with DWI in New Jersey and won.

The Intoxicated Driver Program (IDP) is a series of mandatory interventions for people convicted of DWI in New Jersey.

Each county in the state has an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC), which evaluates each case to determine appropriate action.

You may be ordered to attend drug or alcohol abuse treatment, for instance, and your participation will be monitored.

Upon completion of IDRC-directed programs and subsequent evaluations, the IDP will make a report to the MVS recommending that your license be restored, or, if you have failed to follow IDRC instructions, to continue with your license suspension.

IDP only comes into play if you are convicted of drunk driving in New Jersey. It doesn’t have to happen.

Even though New Jersey DWI isn’t a criminal matter, when it prosecutes a drunk driving case, the state is still held to the standard of Guilty Beyond Reasonable Doubt.

This is a powerful strategic element in DWI defense, because it leaves open many avenues of that a good lawyer can explore to cast doubt on the state’s claims.

With an experienced DWI attorney, evidence like field sobriety tests and even breath testing can be successfully challenged.

All testing protocols require strict adherence to legal standards of use and interpretation, and the fact is that in many cases, it can be demonstrated that those protocols weren’t met, calling critical prosecution evidence into question.

No. Because DWI isn’t prosecuted as a criminal matter, you’ll face a trial that is presided over by a Municipal Court Judge who will hear the evidence against you, listen to your defense, and who will issue rulings on any disputes over fact or law in the case.

Eventually, the judge will determine whether or not you are guilty, and if convicted, will sentence you based on the facts of your case.
