Driving under the influence (DUI) refers to what is commonly known as drinking and driving. There are essentially two main DUI crimes in Washington, driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or a drug (RCW 46.61.502) and being in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence (RCW 46.61.504). While these are separate crimes, the consequences are the same. See more on physical control, below.
