In Alabama, driving a vehicle under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) both bear the same offense as they are considered illegal.
Therefore, according to the Alabama DUI/DWI law, the individual’s blood alcohol concentration needs to be checked, and the person can be convicted if it is more than 0.08%.
General penalties upon Conviction:
With a conviction of DUI/DWI in Alabama every consecutive time, the punishment following it can become severe.
- In general, cancellation of the license will follow on every offense.
- Punishment can be supported with an additional penalty like a fine and mandatory prison, depending upon the severity of the situation.
