Driving under the influence charge was brought against a New Jersey Senator. The senator, who is a deputy majority leader for State Democrats, crashed into two cars. Both cars were luckily unoccupied. It is unknown what the senator’s blood alcohol level was or what she was allegedly drinking prior to getting into the car. The senator was picked up from the Jersey City municipal building by former governor Jim McGreevy. The senator had a prior driving under the influence charge back in 2005. That 2005 driving under the influence was out of Liberty State Park. Whether there was or was not a conviction back then, it’ll likely still be her first due to the ten year step down. Meaning, she will not be charged with a second offense for a DWI.

Driving under the influence, codified under New Jersey law as 39:4-50, can have a life altering impact on you and your loved ones. Depending on what your blood alcohol content, it’ll factor into whether you may lose your license and for how long. BAC between .08 and .10, then you will lose your license until an interlock device is installed in your vehicle. The interlock will be required to stay in your vehicle for a period of three months. If your BAC is .10 to .15, then you will lose your license until an interlock device is installed in your vehicle. However, an interlock will be required to stay in your vehicle for a period of seven months. If your BAC is higher than .15, than you will lose your license for four to six months.
