What's the Difference Between DUI & DWI?

DUI stands for driving under the influence and that is the more traditional way of referring to impaired driving under the influence of alcohol. In approximately the early eighties the legislature of North Carolina changed that to be more inclusive. This means that they included more substances that can impair you in addition to alcohol such as lawfully prescribed medications and even illegal drugs as well. Driving while impaired captures alcohol, drugs, medicines, and anything that can impair your ability to drive a vehicle, where DUI applies to more specifically to alcohol.
