A criminal offense, DWI imposes stricter penalties than other traffic citations. Besides fines, you may have your license suspended, revoked, and serve time in jail, especially if it isn't your first offense, or there was a death as a result of the DWI. When you have been arrested for DWI, you should contact an experienced DWI attorney immediately.
The different crimes involving alcohol are:
DWI (Driving While Intoxicated): where there is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08 or higher or other evidence of intoxication.
DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired): where there is .05 BAC to .07 BAC, or other evidence of impairment.
DWAI/Drugs (Driving While Ability Impaired): by a drug that is not alcohol.
