The DWI Law in New Jersey
Drunk driving is charged as DWI in New Jersey, at a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or more.
Driving in New Jersey is consent to a breath or blood test when an officer has cause to suspect DWI; the license case that follows a refusal or a failed test is run by the Motor Vehicle Commission, separately from the criminal case.
For charging and sentencing, New Jersey counts prior offenses within 10 years.
