[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"In North Carolina, a driver can be pulled over and potentially arrested for driving while impaired (DWI) if a law enforcement officer reasonably suspects they are operating a vehicle while noticeably impaired. A driver can also be charged with DWI if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reaches .08 percent or more or if they have any Schedule I controlled substance in their system.","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"North Carolina DWI\u00a0laws can be confusing. The state uses a multi-tiered system for all DWI sentencing. The level of an individual\u2019s DWI offense depends on the situation's circumstances and specific mitigating factors. Level I DWI offenses are the most significant, while level V offenses are on the other end of the spectrum.","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question2","text":"The time a conviction counts against you in North Carolina is called the \u201clook-back period.\u201d The look-back period for DWI convictions depends on the severity of the offense. A DWI offense can remain on your record for 7 to 10 years. If you drive while impaired again within that time, the subsequent charge counts as a repeat offense.","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question3","text":"Depending on the circumstances of your situation, how an officer collects evidence, and how breath and blood tests are administered and processed, the charges against you can be dismissed or penalties reduced if you\u2019ve never had a DWI before. However, getting the charges against you dismissed is seldom something an individual can do independently. Getting DWI charges dismissed takes an in-depth knowledge of the North Carolina legal system.","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer3"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Is Considered a DWI in North Carolina?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer1"},"name":"What Are the Different Levels of DWI Charges in North Carolina?","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How Long Will a DWI Conviction Stay on My Record in North Carolina?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Question2"},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can the Charges Be Dismissed If I Have Never Had a DWI Before?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Answer3"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#Question3"}],"name":"How to Beat a DWI\/DUI in North Carolina","@id":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"How to Beat a DWI\/DUI in North Carolina","item":"https:\/\/www.jdwarlick.com\/blog\/how-to-beat-a-dwi-dui-in-north-carolina\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
