DUI/DWI School Online Alcohol Classes

Defendants with a DWI, DUI, OVI, MIP (minor in possession) or any other Alcohol or Drug related charge may need to take an alcohol/Drug education program which can be available online for this state.. In many locations, a mandatory alcohol education program, alcohol-Drug awareness class or an intervention program to fulfill court or state-mandated requirements. In most all out-of-state non-resident cases, an online course for Alcohol, MIP or Drug classes are all that is available to the offender. If a person is charged with a DUI – DWI, MIP or Drug Possession in a state other than the state that person resides, an online alcohol awareness or drug program is ideal. If an offender is moving out of state and will become a resident of another state before his trial for that offense, that defendant also may be allowed to take the online course.

Sometimes a defendant and his attorney can agree to a pretrial diversion program for drug crimes of a criminal charge or offense. Many times in an alcohol or drug-related case, the pretrial terms may include a treatment, evaluation, interdiction or simply an online class. The pretrial diversion program for drug crimes is probation or probate sentence after the pre-set date.

Many courts will probate a DUI or DWI for 1, 2 or 3 years depending upon the circumstances of the case. Some courts and prosecutors will consider allowing an online program due to a defendant needing to get to an actual classroom site. If the offender has a suspended driver’s license, then undue hardship is on a family member, relative or friend to drive the offender to a class. You may also need to take a defensive driving course in some jurisdictions to get the suspension lifted. This course may fulfill your needs and do so from any computer with an internet connection. The online course is taken at your convenience and at your own pace. No sitting in a classroom.

In many locations, a DUI or DWI is basically defined as a person suspected of operating a motor vehicle upon a public roadway, highway or street while having a BAC (blood Alcohol concentration) of .08 or greater or having loss the normal use of their physical or mental faculties while under the influence of Alcoholic beverages or Drugs. The BAC may be determined by a blood sample, breath Alcohol concentration or a DNA sample.

Some courts offer deferred adjudication or pretrial plea bargains requiring a defendant of a DUI/DWI charge to take a Alcohol/Drug awareness class or course, either in person or online.
