drunk driving laws in DUI Site Map :: Disclaimer California DUI Laws and Legal Information DUI Nationally The laws relating to drunk driving differ from one state to another, and even vary in terminology ("drunk driving", "DUI" or "driving under the influence", "DWI" or "driving while intoxicated", "OWI" or "Operating While Intoxicated", "impaired driving", etc.). These differences can involve the legal definitions of the offense ("operating" and "driving", for example, can involve significantly different conduct, as can what constitutes "impaired"), effects on license suspensions and/or restrictions, the nature of court and administrative procedures, nature and severity of penalties, what conduct constitutes a felony, and so on. Although this is changing with the increasing presence of the federal government's "carrot-and-stick" approach to uniformity, primarily through the acitvities of the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA", pronounced "nitsuh"), the differences are still substantial and are likely to remain so for some time. The following are a few resources for those interested in the drunk driving laws in the United States outside of California, including both federal and state websites.

Home About Oregon DUII Defense Law Firm PJC LAW GROUP Oregon DUII Information Oregon License Suspension Laws 10 Day License Suspension Time Limit National Driver's License Records Calculate Your Blood Alcohol Contact the Law Offices of PJC LAW GROUP Site Map Oregon DUII Information Some Oregon-specific facts about DUII: "Driving" covers a multitude of activities, including riding a bicycle, operating a riding lawnmower, riding a horse, and so on. One does not need to be actually driving to be cited, as long as police have probable cause to put you behind the wheel of a vehicle. People have been cited for DUII who were sleeping in the back of a vehicle at a rest stop. People have also been cited for DUII while walking away from a parked vehicle, with the keys in their pocket. Oregon's DUII law is harsh. Plea bargaining is strictly forbidden, and the punishments mandated even for first conviction include jail, a fine of at least $1000, suspension of driving privileges for at least one year, and extensive alcohol/drug education classes and probation. For repeat offenses, the penalties increase, and some are classified as felons. Every DUII in Oregon is classified as a crime, carrying possible jail sentence of at least one year. Every defendant charged with DUII is entitled to a jury trial. The legal standard of guilt for a DUII in Oregon is .08%BAC or other evidence of "impairment to a perceptible degree." Accordingly, even an individual whose BAC is less than .08% is at risk of being convicted of DUII. One element in Oregon's DUII law that reduces the harshness for some individuals is the DUII Diversion Program. However, the requirements are stringent, and many do not qualify, or are disqualified from participation for various reasons. The most common device in use in Oregon for detection of DUII is the Intoxilizer 5000, and state law requires only a single blow into the machine. Under Oregon's Implied Consent law, suspensions of 90 days or longer are issued at the time of arrest where the driver blows .08%BAC or in the case of a CDL driver .04%BAC, or in the case of a driver under 21, anything more than .00%BAC. The Oregon courts have upheld use of Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus and Drug Recognition Evaluators as scientific evidence. SFSTs are a "search" under Oregon law, mandating that the officer have probable cause or consent of the motorist. National Drunk Driving Defense - Find the best attorney to represent your case.

DWI is a serious NJ-DWI - NJ Drunk Driving Defense Information Contact Peter H. Lederman, Esq. Law offices of Lomurro, Davison, Eastman and Munoz Driving While Intoxicated.. DWI is a serious offense in New Jersey. The Court must impose mandatory license suspensions, fines, surcharges and in certain cases, jail. The Division of Motor Vehicles must also impose a mandatory insurance surcharge from $3,000 to $3,500. A permanent record of the DWI conviction is also entered on the Drivers Abstract maintained by the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles. Penalties differ depending upon whether the offense is a first, second or subsequent offense. We defend DWI charges every day in Courts throughout the State of New Jersey . Our philosophy is that you can not win a DWI case unless you try to win. For this reason, we try almost all of our cases to a verdict unless a better result can be achieved without trial. We make the State prove its case both in trial and in pre-trial suppression motions. We search for all possible evidence which might make the difference in winning a case. We vigorously cross-examine police officers regarding field sobriety tests and observations claimed to suggest intoxication. We work regularly with the top DWI expert in the State of New Jersey, who can attack breath test results and field sobriety test results when these tests have not been correctly administered. My practice is limited to defending drivers charged with Driving While Intoxicated and related offenses. I have been defending drivers charged with DWI over the past 26 years. Over that time, I have had the opportunity of acting as a Municipal Prosecutor, Chairman of the New Jersey State Bar Association Municipal Court Section, testifying before the legislature on issues involving DWI, and instructing other attorneys in how to defend defendants charged with Driving While Intoxicated, on behalf of the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education " NJICLE" . I have also had articles published in the New Jersey Lawyer on Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which are the tests administered on the road to determine whether a suspect should be arrested for a breath test. We consider each case to be important. We recognize the severity of mandatory fines, suspensions and surcharges. We vigorously and aggressively defend every case accordingly. If you feel that we can be of assistance, call to discuss your case or contact us to make an appointment . There is no charge for the initial consultation. We can discuss the defenses which might be raised and the fees involved. Our office is centrally located in New Jersey and accessable to all major highways. You should give careful consideration to the selection of an attorney, as proper representation can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case. We hope we can be of service to you.
