How long does a DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) stay on your NYS driver's license?

According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles accidents, convictions for moving violations, and the suspensions or the revocations of your driver license remain on your driver record for a different amount of time.

The NYS DMV notes specifically that a conviction that is alcohol-related or drug-related (for example, DWI or DWAI) remains on a driver record for exactly 10 years. If a driver is convicted of the same violation during that 10 years, the driver can receive additional penalties.

There are other convictions and accidents of a serious type that can remain on a driver record for more than 10 years. Also a NY suspension or a revocation of a driver license that was not cleared or not terminated remains on a driver record indefinitely.
