Is driving while under the influence and/or intoxicated a crime (of whatever degree) or an infraction (moving violation)?
Thanks. I keep getting a fail when I try to access the N.J. statute database on FIndLaw.

a very big YES!!! not only is it a moving violation, it's a stupid thing to do. you will loose your license as well. i think the first offense is six months.

here's another link to the penalities. do yourself a favor, call a call a friend, call a cab, walk, hitchhike if you have to! driving drunk is a very stupid thing to do. you could hurt or kill someone...

I don't get the impression TomR is asking this question because he is planning to drive drunk.  |

gtonne,
Thanks for the benefit of the doubt.
I asked because I was wondering why we needed a town ordinance to hold intoxicated drivers until they sober up.
Cutter,
I don't get it.

Cutters post refer's to the fact that once again someone wrote "Loose" when they meant "lose"

to tomr-
sorry about my response. i meant mine as a general respose. i think the town passed ordinance to insure a person arrested for drunk driving doesn't get behind the wheel again until they sober up. more then once, after being released the person gets back in the car (still drunk). |

just me,
Don't worry about it.
I had always assumed that getting tagged for DWI would put me in jail until I was arraigned and posted bail. The ordinance just got me wondering.
As an aside, does anybody know what MADD considers an "alcohol related" incident? I've always found their retoric a bit confusing.
Duncan,
Thanks. It just goes to show that you see that which you expect to see.
