New Jersey DWI Charges

In New Jersey, the terms DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) are used interchangeably. In the Garden State, operating a vehicle or boat with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or greater can result in DUI charges. A formal conviction can result in significant penalties, including license suspension, fines, possible jail time, and mandatory participation in the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center.

Judges have some discretion with consequences, and penalties typically vary based on whether it’s a first, second, or subsequent offense. With so much on the line, it’s important to retain an attorney who can protect your rights and work diligently to beat the charges.

New Brunswick DWI Hotspots

Locally, there are a few areas where law enforcement frequently conducts sobriety checkpoints or patrols due to high traffic, nightlife, or trends in DWI arrests. These locations include:

• George Street and Easton Avenue. These areas have many bars, restaurants, and nightlife congestion due to their proximity to Rutgers University, which makes this area a common site for DWI checkpoints, especially on weekends or when the university is in session.
• Route 1. This roadway is frequently patrolled and checked due to its role as a primary route both within and around New Brunswick, particularly during high-traffic periods.
• Route 18
• New Jersey Turnpike (I-95)
• Livingston Avenue. This major roadway is heavily patrolled by New Brunswick Police, Rutgers Police, and State Troopers.

With a strong police presence in these areas, it’s essential to follow New Jersey law and refrain from drinking and driving. However, in New Jersey in 2023, there were 606 fatal accidents due to impaired drivers, which is a rate of about 6.5 deaths per 100,000 Garden State residents.

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to deal with a DWI charge, contact a knowledgeable New Brunswick lawyer with plenty of experience and a track record of success resolving DWIs.

Reckless Driving in New Jersey

If you were arrested for a DUI, you may find out that your charges were reduced to reckless driving. Of note, reckless driving is part of DUI, as it’s considered reckless to drive if you’re impaired and could cause a collision. An attorney can discuss your case with the prosecutor and argue for a lesser offense. An attorney can work with the prosecutor to address all available lesser charges, defend your rights, and raise all available legal defenses.

Field Sobriety Tests

Field sobriety tests are not always accurate, and your defense attorney should explore whether the tests used to charge you with a DWI were accurate and administered appropriately. It’s important to meet with a licensed attorney to discuss your specific case facts and what happened that led to your DWI arrest.

At Weisberg & Klauber, LLC, we take pride in our ability to meet with clients to discuss their goals and explore all potential case defenses. We’re happy to set up an initial meeting to discuss your specific situation.

Hiring a New Brunswick Attorney

If you’re facing a DWI charge, an attorney can provide the necessary peace of mind. The representation you choose to partner with throughout your case matters. Accused drivers should make an informed decision about who they retain. Look for a trustworthy attorney who:

• Doesn’t promise a specific result, since there are many variables that can impact your case outcome
• Has a verifiable track record of success
• Can discuss your case’s risks and possible rewards, since you alone have to live with the results
• Communicates with you effectively
• Has a responsive legal team
• Can answer your questions about their written fee agreement
• Can set up a no-risk initial meeting to evaluate your situation
