OVI vs. DUI.

You may have heard of both acronyms if you live in the Buckeye State.  What is the difference between OVI and DUI in Ohio?  The short answer is nothing.  DUI, of course stands for driving under the influence.  OVI is just a different way of expressing it.  It simply means operating a vehicle while the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Just a reminder… you can be arrested for an OVI if you are found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher.  Of course, that is where the Russian Roulette of it all comes into play.  How do you reach that limit?  Are you a five-foot-two 115 pound woman or a six-foot-three 210 pound man?  Alcohol consumption affects us all in a different way.

Here is the bottom line.  If you plead or are found guilty of an OVI or a DUI (a rose by any other name) for the first time, you will be jailed for a minimum of 3 days or up to 6 months and you can be fined up to $1,000!  The only sin you may have committed is not calling Jon Sinn.  He is an Akron Ohio drunk driving defense attorney.  Call him immediately at (330) 431-0160.

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. 

When you are fighting an OVI or BAC charge you need a lawyer who understands the science behind the tests.  You can count on the 20+ years of experience and specialized training that attorney Jon Sinn brings to the table.  He is a DUI/OVI defense attorney in Akron, who will put his years of experience to work on your case.  Call him for a consultation today at (330) 431-0160.
