Based on the information I was given in a class a while back (several years ago), OWI is used for lower concentrations. All that is required is that the suspect have a certain BAC (I don't recall which), and be in control of the vehicle (driver's seat, keys in ignition).

DUI requires a higher BAC (.08), vehicle movement, and signs of impairment.

OVI here.

[patchcop]

TriV (Trunkenheit im Verkehr = Drunken in Traffic)

or

316er

(it is § 316 StGB, state law book that has the drunken driving case)

here in Cologne, Germany and I think all around my country.

DUI in TN for those over 21 yrs of age. If under 21, since the BAC only has to be .02%, it is DWI.

[Puddle Pirate]

DUI / BUI

If drugs are onboard it's DUI-D

Damn Darin, I have 1 since I started, and that was my second night, with my FTO, needless to say, I had some touching up to do with the FTO after we released th guy.

DAI Driving After Imbibing is the legal name of the Vehicle Code Chapter

DUI is the name of the offense.


Can go either way.

California is DUI. (Or 'deuce' by the street cop.)

On an unrelated note, in San Francisco we used a somewhat unique acronym "DWA" to describe any mysteriously insane driving maneuver, or, any inexplicably horrible operation of a motor vehicle.

DWA = Driving While Asian.

If you've ever been to the City (or China) you'd understand very well.

So it is your opinion that people of Asian ethnicity are bad drivers?:confused:

Hmm, I guess I don't see it that way. Both my sisters are Asian (adopted) and they can drive just fine.

:mad:

It's a joke. My wife is Chinese (now naturalized) and our children are mixed. Have a better day.
