Driving While Intoxicated
|
|
|
There are many types of driving offenses with varying penalties and consequences, but one of the most serious offenses is that of impaired driving. This criminal offense is known by various labels such as Driving Under the Influence ("DUI"), Driving While Intoxicated ("DWI"), and Operating Under the Influence ("OUI"), among others. The labels and acronyms are equivalent to the charge of drunk driving. Various substances, not just alcohol, can cause impairment, including illegal drugs, over-the-counter medications, and prescription medication. |
