Dwi vs. dui?
what's the diff'rence in the two - driving while intoxicated vs. driving under the influence - ??
Answers:
DWI = Driving While Intoxicated. An alcohol related offense.
DUI = Driving Under the Influence. Any impairing substance. May also be used for alcohol, usally the more severe cases.
DUI usually has a stiffer penalty.
They are the same - DWI = driving while under influence
DUI = Driving under influence.
DWI refers to just alcohol. DUI refers to alcohol or drugs.
DWI: Driving while under the influence (meaning you were over the legal limit
DUI: Driving under the influence. Driving at or below the legal the legal limits.
The difference is the district in which the charge it brought. The wording of the phrase may be different but the meaning is the same. Municipalities simply use the title of their choosing. Point is that they are legally the same charge and should be treated the same.
I believe it varies state to state, but here in Texas, DUI just applies to minors (under 21) because any amount of alcohol in their system (even if it's under the legal amount for adults) is illegal.
DWI is for everyone who is over the legal limit.
Kind of like Abortion and Murder...the result is the same.
They are the same accept dui implies any illegal substance.
DUI means its in the car and you could get it
DWI means you already got it
