Discuss the difference between driving while intoxicated (DWI) and driving under the influence DUI

What will be an ideal response?


• Under the earlier DWI statutes intoxication was difficult to prove.
• In modern DUI statutes, the state has to prove that alcohol or drugs had an influential effect on reducing the person's ability to control the vehicle and exercise timely judgment. How much was consumed is unimportant.
• If a person's blood alcohol content is 0.08 percent or higher, the presumption is that the driver is under the influence.
