Driving under the Influence of a controlled substance or alcohol. It is a condition that can cost you your license or your life, depending on how bad you get. DWI is Driving while Intoxicated. Good luck on your test and don't let this happen to you! Nana

Driving under the influence of alcohol, drunk driving, or drink-driving, is the act of operating a motor vehicle (and sometimes a bicycle or similar human-powered vehicle) after having consumed alcohol (ethanol) or other drugs, to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. In addition to driving under the influence of alcohol and driving under the influence of other drugs, a third "DUI" offense consists of driving under the combined influence of alcohol and other drugs. The drugs causing or contributing to the impairment need not be illegal, but can consist of lawfully prescribed or over-the-counter medication. Anti-drunk-driving advertising campaigns have aimed to raise awareness of the legal situation and the dangers of driving while intoxicated. Drunk-driving is responsible for a large number of deaths, injuries, damage and accidents every year.

Driving Under the Influence.
It can mean Drunk Driving or it can mean driving while under the influence of Medicine.
My niece was ran over (AND PARKED ON - she's 5 years old) by a guy taking 3 pain-killers. He was ticketed for driving Under the Influence. He was so high on painkillers he didn't even know he hit her or that he parked on her, lol. She was fine, it hurt her leg, but didn't break it, just a bad bruise, so she was VERY lucky! Her father was not so lucky. He lifted the car off her in a panic and now has back and neck trouble :/ poor guy!

This could mean several things and it should be in your rextbook. The most common meaning is "driving under the influence" or "driving while intoxicated" (DWI) in some places. This would be normally mean operating a vehicle while drunk or using a narcotic or a drug than impairs alertness like Benadryl.
Not knowing what you are studying, it's impossible to say for sure.
