Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

Driving under the influence, or DUI, does not only refer to a driver impaired by alcohol. DUI law encompasses drivers impaired by legal or illegal drugs as well. Any substance that can affect a driver's mental or physical capacities can result in a driver falling under the legal definition of impairment under DUI statutes. A driver may be convicted of a DUI offense even if the drug is a cold medicine or caffeine pills.
