DWI Explained
In many states, the terms DWI and DUI (driving under the influence) are used interchangeably but in Oklahoma, they are two different offenses. Oklahoma also has a zero-tolerance approach to minors drinking and getting behind the wheel, and minors can face an underage DUI charge if they have even the slightest amount of alcohol in their systems, meaning that their blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.02 or higher)
An adult may face a DWI charge if a law enforcement officer has reason to believe that they are impaired by alcohol or drugs even though they have a BAC that is below the legal limit. Individual situations may differ but typically, a person is charged with a DWI when their BAC is between 0.06-0.07. When someone is convicted of a DWI charge it is a misdemeanor. While it may seem expensive to hire a DWI lawyer, in the end, it may wind up saving you money, stress, and your reputation.
