Your cousin has every reason to be worried about his DWI charge in Union, New York. To be honest, not only I could give you one reason, but I could give you several reasons why he has to take this matter seriously. First on the list is that his DWI charge will follow him for the rest of his life if he will be convicted. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) would keep track of his record for at least 10 years. The DMV would have to make sure that his driver’s license is taken away from him for 18 months, if he will be convicted for DWI.

Another reason is that the additional auto insurance charges alone may cost him thousands of dollars. His insurance company should notify the DMV in advance if he doesn’t maintain his insurance. He will also have increased rates if he gets convicted for DWI. He can also lose his job or future job opportunities because most employers or potential employers do background check on their employees. Travelling outside of the country will also be affected because many countries do not accept those who have DWI convictions.
