Motorists will be charged with an Alaska DWI if their blood
alcohol content is .08 or higher. Alaska is an implied consent
state, which means that when you accepted your driver's license you
agreed to be subject to testing procedures by law enforcement officials
to determine whether or not you are operating a vehicle under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. When arrested for Alaska
DWI there will be two separate cases brought against you. The
first is a criminal case brought by the state of Alaska for the action
of driving while intoxicated. Then second is a license revocation
attempt made by the Alaska Department of Motor Vehicles.
It is important to realize you can still be arrested for DWI even if
your BAC is below .08, if the officer thinks you are driving recklessly
or in an impaired manner. In Alaska both a DWI and refusal to
submit to a breath test are criminal offenses. The offense is a
Class A misdemeanor with a possible maximum sentence of 1 year in jail,
$5,000 fine and license revocation. If you have 2 or more DWI or
refusal convictions within a 5 year period prior to the current
offense, you will be charged with felony DWI. In addition
to increased fines and punishments, you will be required to
attend alcohol educational classes if convicted of an Alaska DWI.
Alaska is a member of the Interstate Driver's License Compact, which means if you are tried and convicted of an Alaska DWI the state will share this information with other states in the program. Reciprocally, previous offenses in other states could have an impact on your current Alaska DWI case.
