The state of Kentucky uses DUI and DWI interchangeably. If you operate a vehicle while being impaired due to alcohol or other substances, including prescription or illegal drugs, driving under the influence (DUI) in Kentucky may result in a court order for an ignition interlock device (IID). For those under the age of 21, any trace of alcohol can warrant an arrest, as KY has a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving. Offenders with two or more convictions must forfeit their license plates during their suspension.
