Matthew Reisig

As a repeat DWI offender, you can count on your history being used as evidence that you were likely driving drunk.

After all, most people can readily accept the idea that a person who does something once is more likely to do it again, so this is a flawed, if effective, strategy by the prosecution.

Obviously, the fact of a previous DWI has nothing to do with the facts of the case against you today.

In fact, the arresting officer may have become aware of the past conviction prior to approaching you, and that knowledge may have influenced their interaction with you.

A past DWI in New Jersey may make your case harder, but few DWI prosecutions are insurmountable.

You don’t have to provide a sample of your breath to be convicted of DWI in New Jersey.

In fact, refusal to provide a sample carries its own charge, in accordance with New Jersey’s Implied Consent law.

If you are arrested for DWI but refuse to submit to testing, the prosecution can use the witness testimony of the police officer as evidence.

The results of any field sobriety tests you performed, and evidence like dashboard cameras can also be used against you.

You will also be charged with refusal, and even if the DWI charge is ultimately dropped, you can be prosecuted for refusal on its own.

The inclusion of a refusal charge can enhance the penalties you’re facing considerably.

Yes, the statutory blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for drivers who are under 21 years of age in New Jersey is .01, so any recorded level above that is subject to prosecution.

This can be devastating for young drivers, who are especially prone to punitive action from insurance companies, and may make auto insurance unaffordable or even unavailable to them for years to come.

The penalties you’ll face if convicted include a license suspension as long as 90 days, up to 30 days of community service, participation in alcohol education through a state Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, and fines.

New Jersey’s DWI rules are different for commercial drivers, and they extend even into your personal vehicle.

If you’re arrested for DWI in your own car in New Jersey but hold a commercial driver’s license, you’ll face a one year CDL suspension on the first offense.

If you are convicted of DWI a second time, you’ll lose your CDL – and your career – forever.

These penalties are on top of the suspension of your basic driver’s license, and the seriousness of these penalties really can’t be overstated for those who rely on driving for their income.

License suspension is mandatory in New Jersey after a DUI conviction, but the time frame varies based on two factors.

First, if your blood alcohol content was over .08 but under .10, your penalty will be lower.

Second, the number of previous DWI’s you’ve been convicted of will be a determining factor. There are additional considerations if you were under 21 at the time of the arrest.

If this is your first offense and your BAC was .08 or higher but under .10, your mandatory suspension is 3 months.

If your BAC was .10 or higher on a first offense, you may lose your license for up to a year.

The window for a second (or third) DWI is 10 years, so if this is your second arrest for DWI in a decade, you’ll face a license suspension of two years.

For a third offense, you can lose your license for 10 years.

You don’t have to be convicted of DWI in New Jersey, and few cases are as airtight as police and prosecutors want you to believe.
