In NC it is DWI and yes, you can be charged with DWI without being caught behind the wheel. The classic scenario is a wreck where the driver has left the scene..

You would have been ordered to do certain things - you have to do those things or you will likely not like the outcome. So if 20 hours of DWI classes were ordered, you have to do them.
