There are over more than 700 DWI charges issued per week and over 30,000 issued per year according to NJ statistics. Driving while intoxicated encompasses driving while under the influence of alcohol but also includes situations where a driver is impaired by the influence of drugs both legal and illegal. The current law provides for a person to be considered under the influence of alcohol if their Blood Alcohol Level (BAC) is above (.08) as determined by a blood or breath test. Under NJ law you are required to submit to a breathalyzer examination or blood test as the case may be and failure to do so carries penalties similar to that if found guilty for DWI. Unlike other states, DWI is not considered a criminal offense in New Jersey, however, the penalties which include jail in certain instances are severe even though not technically "criminal." The law on DWI is continuously changing, that is why you should hire an experienced DWI lawyer to defend you.
