When you notice that you are about to be stopped on the way back from a Browns football game or a night in the Flats with friends or family, you might justifiably be concerned that a DUI | OVI conviction will cause a major disruption in your life. A conviction can result in minimum jail time, significant fines, suspension of your driver’s license, driver intervention programs, continuous alcohol monitoring (CAM), mandatory treatment programs, ignition interlock devices, impound or immobilization of your vehicle, electronically monitored house arrest (EHMA), restricted plates and/or probation.

Ohio changed its drunk driving nomenclature in 2005 from the designation driving under the influence (DUI) to operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI). However, attorneys still generally refer to the offense as DUI because the term is more widely recognized and used by the public. The change in nomenclature was intended to more accurately reflect the acts that constitute a violation.  The term “operate” clarifies that you do not necessarily need to be “driving” in the ordinary sense.

If you are stopped after you have been drinking, you can reduce the risk of an OVI conviction if you remain calm and follow certain steps. When the officer approaches your vehicle, you should have you driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance in your hands which should be placed in plain view on the steering wheel. This will prevent the officer from needing to worry about his safety and avoid a situation where you might look uncoordinated when you are trying to grab the documents.
