Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a DUI and a DWI?

The main difference between a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) is the laws that govern them. In most states, a DUI refers to any amount of alcohol or drugs in your system while operating a motor vehicle. In contrast, a DWI generally applies when an individual has a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher, or 0.01% if you are under 21 years old or on DUI probation. In some states, however, the BAC for a DUI and DWI may be the same.
What are the penalties for DUI/DWI convictions?

When it comes to penalties, a DUI is typically less severe than a DWI, although the severity of punishment can differ from state to state. For example, in some states, a first-time DUI offence may result in jail time, while in other states, the same offence may only be punishable by fines and counselling. A DWI will likely carry more serious penalties, such as jail time, higher fines and longer license suspension periods.
What are some examples of dangerous driving in NSW?
Some examples of dangerous driving in NSW include:
- Speeding
- Drink or drug driving
- Failing to give way & stop at traffic lights
