DWAI vs DUI

[Mrodriguez182]

Are they the same? In UPS's eyes? I'm Trying to drive soon but I got a DWAI in 2013. No suspensions or revocation on my license. So I'm not sure.

What is DWAI?

Driving while ability impaired.

 

[Mrodriguez182]

The primary difference between the charge of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) is that DWI is a criminal misdemeanor and while DWAI is a traffic infraction.
Just found that on a law firm site.

The primary difference is the BAC count. .08 and above (in NY) is DUI.

I'm sure UPS considers it the same. 3 years clean, here, I think.
