New York DMV tightens rules on DWI convictions

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles will permanently revoke the licenses of New York drivers with four drug- or alcohol-related convictions or incidents instead of the previous five. FOX 5 NY?s Jodi Goldberg explains many argue that?s still way too many chances.

NEW YORK - If you’ve been putting off that trip to the New York DMV, you’ll have to wait a few more days.

All Department of Motor Vehicles offices will close at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13, and phone and online services will be unavailable while the agency upgrades its systems, officials said.

Offices are scheduled to reopen and online services are expected to resume Wednesday, Feb. 18.

Some locations may remain closed longer than others, officials said, advising customers to check their local office’s status before making a visit.
