VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW 1192(2) (DWI) IS A LESSER INCLUDED OFFENSE OF VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW 1192(2-A) (AGGRAVATED DWI) (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department noted that driving while intoxicated in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law 1192(2) is a lesser included offense of aggravated driving while intoxicated in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law 1192 (2-a):

… [D]riving while intoxicated in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192(2) is a lesser included offense of aggravated driving while intoxicated in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192(2-a) (see CPL 300.30[4] … ). A verdict of guilt upon the greater count is deemed a dismissal of every lesser count (see CPL 300.40[3]). Accordingly, we vacate the conviction of driving while intoxicated in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192(2) and the sentence imposed thereon, and dismiss that count of the indictment … .  People v Watson, 2023 NY Slip Op 01538, Second Dept 3-22-23
