Driving Under the Influence of Drugs in North Carolina

Driving while impaired is illegal in North Carolina and elsewhere. Impaired driving includes anything that causes a driver to be impaired and unable to properly operate a motor vehicle on the road. Driving under the influence of drugs is a crime that is the same as driving under the influence of alcohol. Both drunk driving and drugged driving are considered dangerous and, therefore, are punishable crimes. If you have been charged with drugged driving, you will want to vigorously defend the charges and protect your rights with help from an experienced attorney.

Charlotte DWI Lawyer Brad Smith answers the question: “Is there more than one way for police to charge a person with DWI?”

We have all heard of a driving under influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI). Additionally, most associate both a DUI and a DWI with drinking too much alcohol and getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. In North Carolina, DUIs and DWIs are often thought of as the same thing and used interchangeably. Did you know that is it not just alcohol that can result in a DUI or DWI charge? Driving under the influence of drugs can also result in a DWI or DUI charge.
