First DWI in New Jersey: penalties, interlock and what happens next
In New Jersey, a first DWI is a motor vehicle offense handled in municipal court, not a crime, but the penalties are real: fines of $250 to $500, 12 to 48 hours at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, a $1,000 yearly insurance surcharge for three years, and possible jail of up to 30 days. Since the 2019 law took effect, most first offenders install an ignition interlock device instead of facing a long license suspension. Refusing a breath test carries similar penalties.

Many first-time defendants may be eligible for diversion like conditional dismissal or PTI, and stores can separately demand civil payment whether or not you are convicted.
