(Now for some technical stuff)
DUI stands for "Driving Under the Influence"... that means driving under
the influence of not only alcohol, but any mind-altering substance such as
drugs, legal or illegal.
DWI stands for "Driving While Intoxicated". The terms are often
interchangeable.
Furthermore, "Driving" doesn't mean just a motor vehicle, but rather any mode of
transportation, including horses, bicycles and boats.
Anyone can be cited for DUI, you don't have to be IN a vehicle.
Fair or not, a driver in Georgia can lose his or her license and go to jail for
refusing a blood, breath, or urine test if suspected by law enforcement of
driving under the influence. Why?
This is because licensed drivers
agree to an “implied consent” provision when accepting a driver’s license!
