What does DUI mean?

DUI is an abbreviation for ‘Driving Under Influence’ which refers to the state of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicating substances like alcohol or drugs, which would render an individual incompetent in safely operating the motor vehicle.

Driving Under the Influence is a criminal offense wherein the conviction may be a Misdemeanor or a Felony, depending upon the frequency of the DUI convictions in a specific time period.

More frequent DUI convictions in a short span of time (Felony) may lead to longer jail time, longer license suspension, and higher penalty fines as compared to a first or a second time DUI conviction (Misdemeanor) wherein the possible jail time and license suspensions are for a shorter time period with a lower penalty fine.

Another important deciding factor for a DUI conviction to be a felony is the occurrence of any injuries or death or the presence of a child passenger in the vehicle being operated.

Many different jurisdictions have different legal terminologies in place for the same offense of driving under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicating substance such as DWI (driving while intoxicated), Drink-Driving (UK), and Impaired Driving (Canada).

Different jurisdictions around the globe also have different criteria of Blood Alcohol Concentration for the individual to be charged with DUI ranging from 0.03 percent per 100 ml of blood in India to 0.08 percent in the USA with variations in different states in the United States. Blood Alcohol Concentration is generally determined by breath blowing tests and urine tests.

Although DUI is generally limited to motor vehicles, DUI has also been issued for riding bicycles and skateboards under the influence of alcohol and other intoxicants in different parts of the world.
