Which is worse? A DUI?or DWI?
which one?
Answer:
DUI, that means driving under the influence. DWI means driving while impaired. A DUI is for people who are drunk and DWI are for those who might be a little off, but still unable to drive. So DUI is the worse charge of the two.
They're the exact same thing, it just depends on where you live. They both apply to operating a vehicle while under the influence of skill-inhibiting drugs.
Hope this helps
There both bad. and both can seriously injure or kill someone..
Both are the same...Driving while intoxicated...or...driving while under the influence. Different states call it either or. And different states have different consequences. Check your state statutes.
i used to think one was when you are drunk DWI and i thought DUI was when you were like high on drugs
well here in Ohio, where I live, as it was explained to me when I was arrested for DUI some 20 years ago or so, a DWI is the charge you are given when you fail the breathalyzer. A DUI is up to the judgment of the officer. The penalty is exactly the same if convicted, but the DUI is easier to beat, for obvious reasons. What happened in my case, I was arrested, taken to the police station, and passed the breathalyzer. The cop didn't want to let it go at that and charged me anyway. Plus there was the fact that I was a minor at the time and he wanted me to rat out my boss at the restaurant I was working at for giving me the alcohol, and I wasn't talking. The judge threw it out.
Well, driving under the influence is driving above the state legal limit of intoxication. The majority of the the states have a .08 limit but it might even be lower. Driving while intoxicated means you're too intoxicated to even be measure and guilty beyond any defense. While DUI you're given a sobrety test, a breathselyzer test and opportunity to seek an attorney to defend the case in court. DWI is well proven and chances are that one will receive a driving suspension and possible jail time for driving drunk.
