Is There a Difference in NJ Between DWI and DUI?

There is no difference in New Jersey between DWI and DUI. Our DWI statute is entitled Driving while intoxicated.

The first sentence of the statute makes it illegal to operate a motor vehicle ‘while under the influence’. Therefore, both terms are used interchangeably in New Jersey.
