The search term "DUI" is a somewhat ambiguous
reference to a three letter acronym for "driving under the influence," a crime that is
typically charged as a misdemeanor but can also be charged as a felony or reduced to one of
many lesser included offenses. In this context, the term DUI is often used interchangeably
with the terms drunk driving and DWI ("driving while intoxicated"), all of
which typically refer to a criminal charge for operating a motor vehicle while under the
influence of drugs and/or alcohol. However, DUI can also refer to a separate
criminal offense known as "DUI per se" wherein a defendant is charged with
operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08 per cent or higher. As
an acronym, DUI can also refer to "Diving Unlimited International," a company that
has a prominent presence on the World Wide Web, or the "D language graphical
User Interface," a somewhat esoteric open source application
program. Adding to the ambiguity is the fact that "dui" has a plain meaning in Chinese, and
the prominent Dui Hua Foundation uses this word as part of its name.
