DUI stands for Driving Under the Influence and means operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or both. You can be charged with DUI even if your blood alcohol level is below the legal limit if your driving is noticeably impaired.

A DUI conviction has lasting effects on insurance rates, employment, and your driving record.
