DWI (Driving While Intoxicated)

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) refers to operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Laws vary by location, but typically a driver is considered intoxicated if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is above a legal limit, often 0.08% in many places. DWI is a serious offense that can lead to legal penalties such as fines, license suspension, and even jail time. It poses a significant risk to public safety, as intoxicated driving increases the likelihood of accidents and injuries. Public awareness and enforcement aim to reduce DWI incidents and promote responsible driving behavior.
