Perth Amboy DWI Lawyer
In New Jersey, operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or more is considered driving while intoxicated (DWI). A breathalyzer test known as the Alcotest will determine your BAC.
Related offenses include:
- Driving while possessing drugs
- Driving or riding with an open container
- Refusal
- Driving with a DUI suspension
If you are charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Perth Amboy, it is important to consult an experienced New Jersey DWI lawyer. The penalties for DWI are severe. For example, the first conviction for DWI could result in a loss of license for anywhere from three months to a year. Those found guilty of DWI also face a fine up to $500 as well as possible imprisonment.
Furthermore, New Jersey assesses a charge of $1,000 per year for three years. Failure to pay the surcharge may result in: indefinite suspension of driving privileges, and action filed in State Superior Court by MVC which may result in securing a lien against your property, garnishing your wages or other similar action. Those convicted of a repeat offense, the penalties become even more severe. A second conviction may result in a 2 year loss of license and a third conviction may result in a loss of license for 10 years.
