Re: licenses and the right to a speedy trial
1. A New York court can only suspend your privilege to drive in the State of New York.
2. Speedy Trial is your right to have the District Attorney announce "ready" to go to trial within a certain amount of time after arraignment. The speedy trial calculation is extremely complicated, but examples of time which is excluded towards the calcuation include your attorney's requests for adjournments and the filing of defense motions. Speedy trial requirements generally do not apply to DUI cases, however, since both D.W.I. and D.W.A.I. in New York are violations of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, not the Penal Law.
