The People v. Peter Rivera
Annotate this CaseDefendant was arrested for driving while intoxicated while his conditional license was in effect. At issue was whether the offense in section 1196(7)(f), regarding traffic infractions for conditional license-holders, and section 511, regarding the aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, of the Vehicle and Traffic Law may be prosecuted at the same time. The court held that a driver whose license had been revoked, but who had not received a conditional license and failed to comply with its conditions, may be prosecuted only for the traffic infraction of driving for a use not authorized by his license, not for the crime of driving while his license was revoked.
