Under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192.2-a, there are two offenses that constitute Aggravated DWI:
1. Operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.18% or higher
2. DWI while driving with a passenger who is 15 years old or younger ([Leandra’s Law](/practice-areas/dwi-defense/leandras-law/))
If you are found to have a BAC of 0.18% or higher, or if you are alleged to have been driving drunk with a child in the vehicle, you can be charged with Aggravated DWI, a more serious offense than a standard DWI.
