This is the lowest-level DUI offense in NJ. Offenders must attend 12 to 48 hours at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center IDRC, pay a $1,000 per year surcharge for 3 years, and may face up to 30 days in jail.

Offenders are subject to IDRC, $1,000 annual surcharges for 3 years, up to 30 days jail, and multiple administrative fees for reinstatement.

At this level, the driver must install an ignition interlock device before restoration, which prevents the vehicle from starting unless a clean breath sample is provided.

Although there is no BAC test, a DUI for controlled substances carries similar penalties. Jail time, fees, and insurance surcharges apply.

Additional penalties include 48 hours IDRC, 48 hours to 90 days jail, $1,000 annual surcharge, and loss of insurance coverage eligibility.

The court may reduce jail time by allowing time served in an inpatient rehab facility. This is the harshest DUI penalty short of vehicular homicide.

Refusal leads to the same penalties as DUI, plus interlock installation. Suspension period matches the level of offense first, second, etc..

Refusal is treated as if DUI occurred. It includes license suspension and financial penalties.

These are handled similarly to second or third DUI charges, and can include jail time and additional fines.

New Jersey Zero Tolerance Law applies even if BAC is below the adult legal limit. Affected minors also lose points on their driving record.

This law applies even if the person is not driving. If they do not yet have a license, it will be postponed; if they do, it may be suspended.

A second offense results in a $250 fine or 10 days of community service. This applies whether the container is open in the front or back seat.

This is mandatory even if the drugs were not being used at the time. Criminal drug charges may also apply.

Additional penalties include up to 5 days of community service, and it may impact child custody or guardianship status.

The offender is charged with a disorderly person offense and may be fined up to $1,000 or face jail time.

Suspension is lengthened by 1 to 2 years, and interlock penalties continue or restart.

A restricted-use license may be issued allowing limited driving with interlock, even before full reinstatement.

Even though the regular license isn’t suspended, the CDL may be lost for a full year or permanently with repeat offenses.

Drivers must attend the required hours and treatment recommendations to regain privileges.

Programs include education, screening, and may assign longer-term substance treatment if deemed necessary.

Aggressive driving mixed with alcohol is a leading cause of fatal crashes in New Jersey.

All standard servings deliver about 0.6 oz of pure alcohol, affecting balance, vision, and judgment.

Only the liver can metabolize alcohol at a fixed rate 1 drink per hour. Other methods do not reduce intoxication.

Combining substances increases confusion, dizziness, and the risk of collisions or blackouts.
