1. Warrenton Law: DUI | DWI | Drunk Driving Convictions for Virginia DUI | DWI | drunk driving is punishable as a Criminal Class One Misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of up to 12 months in jail, a fine of up to $2,500.00, possible license suspensions, and points. Moreover, Virginia Criminal DUI | DWI | drunk driving law dictates MANDATORY jail time in any case where a person's blood alcohol concentration is above a 0.15 or for second or subsequent offenses. Virginia does not distinguish between DWI and DUI; thus, the terms are used interchangeably. However, in Federal Court, DWI reflects a BAC of .08 and above, while DUI is reserved for a person who is operating a vehicle under the influence of intoxicants. Thus, many people in federal court will find themselves charged with both DUI and DWI. Virginia DWI | DUI | Drunk Driving Law ¤ 18.2-266.
