Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) under § 1192.3 requires proof of actual impairment by alcohol or drugs. Driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher is a per se violation under § 1192.2. Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) under § 1192.1 applies to BAC levels between 0.05% and 0.07%. Leandra’s Law (VTL § 1192.2-a) creates an aggravated DWI charge when a child under 15 is in the vehicle, elevating the offense to a Class E felony.
