Posted August 27, 200717 yr My friend was convicted of DWAI in New York State 25 years ago. Never fingerprinted, paid a fine. He is now going for a job and was wondering if he should mention it. The job questionaire asks if he was ever convicted of it.
August 27, 200717 yr Simple answer is no. The offence is well out of date and isn't really criminal. That is unless he is going for a driving job with school buses.

November 23, 200717 yr DWAI stands for Driving While Ability Impaired. It's a DUI(Driving under the Influence) or DWI(Driving While Intoxicated). He was either drunk, high, stoned, etc. Personally how the hell do you get a DUI 25years ago? He must have been completely F'd up. Even though I'd never agree to the law I wish they'd come up with a DWACPSUYA law. What does that mean? Driving With A Cell Phone Stuck Up Your Ass. Freaking cagers. Statue of Limitations had to run out on that charge so I wouldn't worry about it. Worste thing they can do is tell your friend "Sorry but we see you got a DUI 25years ago so we can't hire you".
