DUI and DWI

Driving under the influence (DUI) is one offense that seems direct but is quite multifaceted. It is defined as the offense of being in control of, operating, or driving a vehicle under the impairment or influence of drugs (be it medically prescribed or recreational) or alcohol, such that one is no longer capable of operating the vehicle safely.

Driving Under the Influence is termed and regulated differently in different jurisdictions. In the United States, it is predominantly called “driving under the influence,” while other states refer to it as “driving while intoxicated.” Some jurisdictions adopt more than one terminology, except that both terminologies may not describe the same offense or carry the same penalty. Other states may expand the terminology to cover farm machinery, horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, bikes, boats, or aircraft. This expanded scope is drawn from the perspective that all of these come under the definition of a vehicle.
