In New Jersey, drunk driving is taken seriously. A New Jersey driver is considered under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of 0.08. Therefore, it is very easy to go over the limit that the law allows.
The penalties for a first DWI/DUI conviction with a BAC below 0.10 in New Brunswick, New Jersey include a three month license suspension, a fine of anywhere between $250 and $400, and up to 30 days in jail. The penalties for a first DWI conviction involving a BAC of 0.10 or above in New Brunswick include: a seven to twelve month license suspension, a fine of not less than $300 or more than $500, and up to 30 days in jail.
Generally, drunk driving related offenses are handled in municipal court. DWI offenses arising out of New Brunswick are handled in New Brunswick Municipal Court.
