Multiple DWIs
There are more serious penalties for those who have had multiple convictions for driving while under the influence or alcohol (DWI) or drugs (DWID). In the state of New Jersey you will face larger fines, longer times in jail and extensive suspension of licenses. You’ll find it more difficult to obtain employment, have sky-high insurance rates and it will negatively impact your reputation.
