A quick definition of operating under the influence:

Operating under the influence means driving a car while you are not able to do it safely because you have consumed alcohol or drugs. It is against the law and can be dangerous for you and others on the road. Sometimes it is called DUI, DWI, or OUI. It is a serious offense and can result in fines, license suspension, or even jail time.

A more thorough explanation:

Operating under the influence (OUI) is a criminal offense that refers to operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs or alcohol. This is also known as driving under the influence (DUI) in some jurisdictions. It is a serious offense that can result in fines, license suspension, and even jail time.

Examples of OUI include:

A driver who is pulled over for swerving on the road and is found to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit.
A driver who causes an accident while under the influence of drugs.
A driver who is stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and fails a field sobriety test.

These examples illustrate how operating a vehicle while impaired can lead to dangerous situations on the road and put other drivers at risk. It is important to never drive under the influence and to always have a designated driver or alternative transportation if you plan on drinking or using drugs.
