New Jersey DWI Penalties
The Consequences of a DWI Arrest
No other traffic offense is as heavily penalized as drinking and driving. Even a first offense can result in steep fines and revocation of your driver's license for a year. Subsequent offenses may result in mandatory prison sentences. Don't hesitate to contact an experienced defense lawyer if you face DWI charges.

DWI Penalties Depend on the Case
New Jersey has different penalties for drunk driving depending on blood alcohol content, whether the driver was a minor, the number of prior DWI charges, and other case circumstances. There are other penalties if the person charged refused to take the breath test.
For specific information regarding the various DWI penalties, please see:
- Driving while intoxicated: first offense penalties
- Driving while intoxicated: second offense penalties
- Driving while intoxicated: third offense penalties
- Breath test refusal: first offense penalties
- Breath test refusal: second offense penalties
