From Law Offices of Jason Bassett, P.C. – What is Driving on a Suspended License After a DWI VTL § 511 explores how one decision on the road can cascade into multiple legal traps — turning a license suspension into a criminal charge under New York law.

In this episode, we follow the journey from the moment of a DWI arrest through the often-overlooked mechanics of the Prompt Suspension Law (Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1193(2)(e)(7)) and the chemical-test refusal revocation (Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1194). With insights from Jason Bassett, Esq., we break down how a suspension transforms into an AUO (Aggravated Unlicensed Operation) charge under VTL § 511, and why many drivers don’t see it coming.

Next, we dive into the three degrees of AUO—third, second, and first degree—and what they mean for penalties, criminal records, and even vehicle forfeiture through VTL § 511-c. We also unpack the conditional license trap and how driving outside its strict limits can escalate the situation from a misdemeanor to a felony. The discussion references relevant statutes and cases such as Pringle v. Wolfe to illustrate the stakes.

Finally, this episode frames the human side of the story: the loss of driving privileges, skyrocketing insurance premiums, employment risks, and the broader repercussions on life and family. With real-world context from the Long Island and Suffolk County legal terrain, this episode serves as a powerful resource for anyone trying to understand the consequences of driving on a suspended license after a DWI.
