In New Jersey, a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher constitutes Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). A breathalyzer test may be used to determine a driver's BAC. However, a breathalyzer test is not necessary in order to be convicted of DWI. A driver is required by law to submit to any chemical tests. Therefore, refusal to submit to a breathalyzer can also result in a suspension of license.
If you or a loved one is charged with DWI or DUI, it is very important to retain an experienced New Jersey criminal attorney to assist with the case.
The Bridgewater Municipal Court regularly handles DWI cases that arise out of the Township of Bridgewater. The Municipal Courthouse is located at 100 Commons Way in Bridgewater and the Honorable William T. Kelleher Jr. Presides over the court.
The State of New Jersey's penalties for DWI are very severe.
- A first DWI conviction could result in a loss of license for a period of time ranging from three months to a year.
- Those found guilty of DWI also face a fine of up to $500 as well as possible imprisonment.
- Furthermore, New Jersey assesses a surcharge of $1,000 per year for three years.
