DWI, or driving while intoxicated/impaired, is the offense of driving while under the influence of certain drugs or alcohol. Usually for alcohol, it is called DUI, or driving under influence. In any case the offense ranges from a traffic criminal offense to a felony, depending on the frequency of arrest, whether a person has been injured or killed, whether the DUI resulted in accident - especially if a person was killed or injured, and whether the defendant left the scene of the accident involving a DUI related injury or death. For first offenders the offense is punishable by driver license suspension, DUI classes, fine, and/or minimal incarceration.
