No.
That is called battery.
Assault is the threat of doing harm to someone.
Battery is the actually harm. |

Battery is the charge for a harmful or offensive touching, such as touching someone with a hot flat iron. Assault would be the charge if you threatened to burn someone by waving the flat iron at them. |

It depends. If you threatened them beforehand, then it is assault and battery, otherwise it is battery. |

Yes, sort of. Assault actually doesn't even require contact. It is generally defined as a crime that occurs when one person tries to physically harm another in a way that makes the person under attack feel immediately threatened. If you make physical contact AND you intended to do so (ex: I intended to place the flatiron next to his forearm, and in doing so, I made contact with his skin), then that would be battery. |

im pretty sure hitting or causing any bodily damage to someone. with any object (hands and feet are considered objects), if its not self-defense, is considered assault. don't try it :| |

No DUI, nor speeding nor overt distractions (like cell phones, etc). Just someone breaks hard, you dont catch it that instant, and hit them.
