The Difference Between a DWI and a DUI
In the state of New Jersey, the acronym DWI stands for Driving While Intoxicated. Many individuals also use the acronym DUI, which stands for Driving Under the Influence. This can lead to confusion as many individuals believe there is a difference between the two charges. They actually mean the same thing! New Jersey’s statute is titled “DWI,” which is why that acronym is more frequently used within the state. Call 856-235-9881 for a free consultation.
Convictions for DUI or DWI carry the same penalties, which can include:
License suspension
Expensive fines
Installation of ignition interlock device
Jail time
Mandatory completion of an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC) education program
