The term DUI, Driving under the influence, refers to an individual operating any type of vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance (an illegal narcotic or a prescription medication), you may be charged with DUI. While it is not illegal to drink alcohol and drive, it is illegal to drive under the influence or "while intoxicated" when your ability to operate a car has been affected by alcohol or drugs, such as when you can no longer judge distances or react to emergencies while driving. With regards to drinking and driving, the legal limit is currently set at a 0.08% alcohol to blood ratio. DUI is a criminal traffic offense, whose penalties are more and more severe each time there is a conviction. For example, a first-time DUI conviction doesnt require jail time as part of the sentence. But a second-time DUI conviction within five (5) years of the first requires a minimum of ten (10) days jail. You should also know that DUI can be charged as a felony under certain circumstances. And, if arrested for DUI, your Ohio Drivers' License can be suspended by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
