DUI & DWI
There has been a debate on whether DUI or driving under the influence and DWI or driving while intoxicated are the same or different. However, it depends on where you live or where come from.
For the place where they believe that those two terms are different, here are the meanings of both terms.
DUI means that the driver is under the influence of alcohol, or it could also mean that the driver is under the influence of drugs both legal and illegal.
DWI means that the driver is intoxicated, or impaired while driving. The impairment could be caused by alcohol, drugs, sleepiness, or other factors.
Regardless of their names, a charge of DUI or DWI arises when a law enforcement officer thinks you were too impaired to drive.
