What does DUI, DWI, or OWI mean?

Trey,
Depending on the jurisdiction, this criminal offense may also be referred to
as driving while intoxicated ( DWI ), driving while impaired (also DWI ),
operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated ( OWI ) or operating a motor vehicle
while intoxicated ( OMVI ).
DUI charges are usually based on a person’s BAC or blood alcohol
concentration and may be determined by the administering of a breath, blood or
urine test (which is usually conducted if drugs are suspected).
Great Question.
