If you are suspected by the police of driving while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any other substance that can cause impairment, you can be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence).
Here in New Jersey, the specific crime is called DWI (driving while intoxicated), A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges); but being one of the top DUI lawyers in NJ, I can often get the charges dismissed, reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and recent history.

Driving while intoxicated and driving under the influence are serious motor vehicle violations in New Jersey.
The penalties for a conviction on either charge are significant.
While many may only think of penalties like the loss of driving privileges, hefty fines and even jail time, a conviction for DWI in New Jersey will remain on your driving record permanently.
Because a DWI is considered quasi-criminal in nature, you do not have the right to a jury trial.
This means that only a judge will preside over your case.

Perhaps you were charged with a DWI and you didn't have a drop of alcohol in your body.
This is quite possible since you can be charged with driving under the influence of a drug in New Jersey.
And it doesn't have to be an illegal drug either.
But to be convicted, the State must prove that the drug you took impacted your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
To do this, the State will ask you for a urine or blood sample for testing.
Then a police officer who is a Drug Recognition Evaluator (DRE) will ask you to perform additional testing back at the station.

Once you are asked to exit your vehicle during a DWI investigation, the first thing the officer usually does is ask you to perform field sobriety testing.
These are a series of subjective tests of which your "pass" or "failure" depends upon the officer's opinion of how you performed.
While there are several field sobriety tests (finger to nose, alphabet, counting backwards, etc.), there are only three Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.
These are the Walk and Turn, the One Leg Stand, and the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus tests.
