DUI stands for “driving under the influence” and is a criminal offense in the United States. It refers to the act of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. Each state has its own laws and penalties for DUI, but it is generally considered a serious offense and can result in fines, license suspension, and even jail time. Some states also have separate charges for driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence of drugs (DUID).
