I'm pretty sure that's wrong, I thought DWI is driving while intoxicated, ie you are over the limit and will be arrested. DUI is driving under the influence, ie you're under the limit and it's up to the officer to determine if the substance that is influencing you is the reason you are driving in an unsafe manner. It has nothing to do with age.

I wouldn't either. But if I was drunk and knew I was going to get nailed on a DWI..I'd seriously consider it. I was a cop for 5 years and didn't like people getting out of the car.

I'm on the civillian side. Work for Red River Army Depot in Texarkana..volunteered to go over for a year and work on MRAPs. The new up-armored Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles that are to protect the soldiers from all the damn IED's on the roads.
