DUI / DWI / OWI / OUI / OMVI / DUII charges will be made against over 1.5 million drivers each year. Don't plead guilty without learning about all of your legal rights!  Remember: drinking and driving is NOT a crime (at least for adults) in ANY state (assuming no "open container" offense, by having an open alcohol container insider your passenger compartment.  The crime comes from IMPAIRED driving, or DRIVING with an “unlawful blood alcohol level” (”UBAL”, or “per se” DUI / DWI as lawyers refer to it) in your blood, breath or urine [for those who have submitted to blood testing or breathalyzer testing].  Specific issues testing issues occur when there has been a car accident or someone is accused of vehicular homicide (sometimes called "vehicular homicide" or "homicide by vehicle". A conviction for “drunk driving” generally remains on your driving and criminal record for LIFE, possibly blocking job opportunities and limiting travel to some countries in the future.
