Most drivers can be charged with DWI offenses in New Jersey if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of 0.08 percent or more while operating a motor vehicle. The limit is 0.04 percent for commercial drivers. Motorists under age 21 can face “baby DUI” charges if their BAC levels are between 0.01 and 0.08 percent. Due to New Jersey’s implied consent laws, anyone who refuses to take a breath test after being stopped for driving while intoxicated will have their license suspended for one year.
Even for a first-time offense, the penalties for a DUI conviction can be serious and include:
