OUI (Operating Under the Influence) driving is a criminal offense where an individual operates or controls a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This includes driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI). It is a serious offense and can lead to penalties such as fines, license suspension or revocation, and even jail time. OUI laws and penalties vary from state to state, but it is always considered a dangerous and illegal act.
