It seems to me that DUI requires a lot less alcohol in the blood than would DWI. That is with DUI, you are not necessarily intoxicated but you have had some alcoholic beverage. Here in Illinois we have a DUI law. Does anyone know if this is really more restrictive than those states with DWI laws (NJ) and if it impacts on the accident statistics? gene foster ihu1m!ewf
