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.
When you are fighting an OVI or BAC charge you need a lawyer
who understands the science behind the tests.
