I had to attend a DWI screening at a drug and alcohol center for an evaluation ordered by the DMV of NY to get my license back, I told them the truth that I hadn't had a drink in more than a year or done drugs in over 2 years they charged me $200 bucks then told me after 15 minutes of yes and no questions that I needed at 12 week program. That sounds sketchy to me!!! it seems like they just want your money

Same for me, I told them I hadn't had a drink in months, that I didn't go out and that I def. learned my lesson, I was "sentenced " to 12 classes totalling $480. and just finished to get a certificate and letter, they didn't even ask if I learned or benefited from those classes, such a scam.

They do what they have to to make sure that you and whoever else is paying attention to the fine you have to pay will somehow come to the conclusion that you will have to pay for drinking and driving.
