DUI and DWI

You may be cited for driving while intoxicated (DUI) if you are found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or more. Penalties are determined by whether you are a first-time DUI offender or if you have multiple DUIs; if you were on probation or had a suspended license; or if your BAC was .15 or higher during your third or subsequent DUI, which is charged as felony DUI.
