Aiding and abetting a DUI charge can expose you to criminal liability nearly as serious as the underlying driving offense itself, even if you never touched the steering wheel. New York Penal Law Section 110 establishes that anyone who intentionally aids, promotes, or encourages another person to commit a crime is guilty of that crime as a principal.
