From my understanding, all of the above are pretty much the same. Just different acronyms. Whats it in your area?
The county I lived in before moving here, it was mainly OUIL.

We have DUI here, meaning, 'Driving Under the Influence of'. As far as I know they are exactly the same, but honestly I really don't know much.

Most of what I've heard is OUIL, but our counties were the same. I did do a ride with MSP over near GR and they used OUIL as well.

In all of Michigan, it was known as OUIL, however with the change of the BAC (.10 down to .08) in September of 2003, the wording of the law changed. It is now known as OWI.
Some agencies/courts still refer to it as OUIL, however formally it is OWI.

DWI = .08
DWAI = .06-.08 or drugs involved
Thats the short answer.DONLON
I mean, we're getting killed for these people and they don't even appreciate it. They think it's a big joke.
