HOW DO FIRST-OFFENSE DWI CASES WORK IN NEW JERSEY?
In New Jersey, first-offense DWI cases fit into a “two-tiered” sentencing structure in accordance with state statutes. These tiers refer to the suspect’s blood-alcohol content (BAC) – the first sentencing tier applies to those with a BAC between 0.08 percent and 0.10 percent, while the second tier applies for those with a BAC above 0.10 percent.
A GUIDE TO NEW JERSEY FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS
If you are pulled over for a suspected DUI or DWI in New Jersey, you might be asked to undergo a field sobriety test. These tests are not legally required, and a separate ticket cannot be issued for your refusal. State law does, however, require a breath test, and refusing to comply results in an additional charge against you.
