Understanding OVI in the State of Ohio.

OVI is Ohio’s term for DUI.  OVI stands for Operating a Vehicle While Impaired.  When you are charged with an OVI it means you have been accused by the police of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

You may also be charged with BAC which means you’re accused of driving with a prohibited concentration of alcohol in your blood.  This is where the dreaded breath test comes in.  A breath testing machine is used to measure the amount of alcohol in your blood.  If you blow above a point .08 you will be charged with BAC.  In addition, the police sometimes collect your actual blood or urine.  BAC is a separate offense than OVI in the state of Ohio.
