Will I be able to get my license back after a DWI conviction?

In North Carolina, the answer to whether you can get your license back after a DWI conviction depends on several factors. If this is your first DWI conviction, you will likely be able to get your license back after a certain period of suspension, depending on the severity of the charge as well as certain other factors. If your DWI charge is a felony, then your license will be permanently revoked and you will not be able to get it back. Certain aggravating factors can also result in further suspension periods. For example, if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is over 0.15% at the time of the arrest, then your suspension period may be extended. Additionally, if you are a repeat offender, or you are found to be driving while impaired with a child in the vehicle, then you may face additional penalties, including additional suspension periods on top of those that apply to first-time offenders. In general, you can potentially regain your license after a DWI conviction, but the exact circumstances of the conviction and your past record will determine the specific conditions and length of the suspension. If you have been charged with a DWI, you should consult with an attorney to better understand what the specific penalties and license restoration options are for you.
