Which vehicle violation is worse? ?

DWI/DUI or Reckless/Speeding?


    




Friendly Stranger..
DWI is worse and the consequences are increased rather than reckless driving or speeding. The reason why DWU or DUI is worse is because you are intoxicated. That means you are not fully in the state of consciencness. You are under the influence of a chemical that impairs your judgement. If you are caught DUI then you will not only be fined, but you will recieve points on your license along with being jailed. When driving reckless you are not under the influence but you are using bad judgement. The difference is you are not impaired which means you are fully aware of what you are doing. If you are caught speeding or driving reckless the consequences are similar but not the same. You will be fined, and possibly have points on your license. Jail time only happens if you are driving reckless and you cause an accident. But if not then you will escape the jail time but it also depends on how many offense you have had.

In order of degree:

DWI - Driving While Intoxicated. Your BAC is above the legal limit.

DUI - Driving Under the Influence. Your BAC is below the legal limit but you still have difficulty controlling your vehicle. Could also be under the influence of drugs.

Reckless/Speeding - Not quite as bad unless you are involved in an accident. Then it becomes negligent homicide if someone dies. Worse than the DWI or DUI above.


Common Sense
DWI & DUI are the same and they are
worse than Reckless / Speeding.

DWI/DUI.
Some one who is Reckless/speeding may have the car under control at all times.
While a driver under the influence seldom has the car under control.

DUI
