Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

What is a DUI?
Driving under the influence, sometimes called a DWI, driving while intoxicated
The guy that said DUI and DWI are the same is wrong.
First, states have different blood alcohol levels that qualify as intoxicated.
Second, assume you are driving funny on a Friday night and a cop pulls you over. They will test your blood alcohol level using breathalyzer. If it shows you have been drinking but your blood alcohol levels is below the legal intoxication level, then that is a DUI, and it is a lesser offense.
Last I heard, some states like Texas don’t even have such a thing as DUI. It used be and still might be, that if you are not intoxicated then the cops will force you to get a ride home but there is no criminal charge.
DWI means you were caught driving with a blood alcohol level that is above the legal intoxication limit. In most states, the legal intoxication level is so high that if you actually go over it then you are certainly very obviously drunk. This is a much more serious charge.
