Read a random definition: first cousin

A quick definition of DWI:

Term: DWI

Definition: DWI stands for "Driving While Intoxicated." This means that a person is driving a car while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It is very dangerous to drive while intoxicated because it can cause accidents and harm to yourself and others. It is against the law to drive while intoxicated and can result in serious consequences, such as fines, license suspension, or even jail time.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: DWI stands for "Driving While Intoxicated." It refers to the act of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This is a serious offense that can result in fines, license suspension, and even jail time.

Example: If someone drinks too much alcohol and then gets behind the wheel of a car, they are committing a DWI. This is because the alcohol impairs their ability to drive safely, putting themselves and others at risk.

Another example: If someone takes drugs, such as marijuana or cocaine, and then drives a car, they are also committing a DWI. This is because the drugs can impair their judgment, reaction time, and coordination, making it dangerous for them to operate a vehicle.

These examples illustrate how DWI is a serious offense that can have serious consequences. It is important to never drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and to always find a safe alternative, such as calling a taxi or using a designated driver.
