New Jersey DWI: Frequently Asked Questions

 

In New Jersey, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% is considered driving while intoxicated.   The penalties and fines for driving while intoxicated or "DWI" depend upon whether you have previously been convicted of DWI.  If you have a prior DWI conviction then the potential penalties and fines that you will face are greater, and could possibly include jail time.  

 

Also, if your blood alcohol concentration is 0.10% or higher then the statute imposes even greater penalties, including longer periods of incarceration and loss of license.
