Best Answer

DWI - stands for "Driving While Intoxicated" or "Driving While Impaired."

Per Se is a Latin phrase meaning "by itself" or "in itself" or "inherently."

The term is commonly used in criminal law such as "Illegal per se" which means that, in-and-of itself, the act is "inherently illegal."

Added: In practice, the term DUI/DWI per se refers to a case where the driver is cited because blood/breath tests indicates that he/she is over the "legal BAC limit". This is in comparison to DUI/DWI "less than safe" where a driver does not test over the limit, but the police have reasonable suspicion of impairment due to the driver's performance on field sobriety tests or through other factors.

What does per se mean?

'per se' in latin and means 'by itself' or 'of itself' = inherentlyPer se is not a term that will have a literal definition but this is closest way to "describe" Per Se. It is used after a group of words to ensure that you, the writer/speaker, knows the clause that comes before Per Se is not true or not to be taken seriously word for word. You are telling the reader/listener that you dont take that clause literally either. Basically, it shows that the previous phrase was similar to an expression. Or, it could mean that the previous phrase was an exaggeration, expression, or sarcasm.
