  • DWI Drugs: The DWI law in New Jersey is extremely broad and applies to both alcohol intoxication and drugs.
  • Alcohol Treatment following a DWI Arrest: If you are convicted of a DWI, you may be required to attend alcohol education classes at the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC). Sometimes as part of a suspended sentencing arrangement or as a condition of probation, a judge may order DWI offenders to attend these programs in order to learn about alcohol dependency and the consequences of drunk driving.
  • Boating DWI: New Jersey has DWI laws that make it illegal to operate a boat while intoxicated.
  • Commercial Driver DWI: If you hold a CDL, you can face enhanced penalties for a DWI while operating a commercial vehicle.
  • Out-of-State Driver DWI: New Jersey has interstate agreements with other states to impose DWI penalties and share information on individuals convicted of DWIs.
  • Underage DUI: New Jersey has a zero tolerance policy for underage drinkers. A minor with blood alcohol content (BAC) above 0.01 percent can be charged with underage DUI.
  • Drunk driving accidents: If you cause an accident while driving drunk, you may be charged with vehicular assault or homicide.
  • Driving while suspended for DUI/DWI
