Ohio laws state that no person can operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both. The set blood alcohol content level is .08%. At this point, an adult is legally considered an impaired driver, however, impairment can occur at any BAC level. Upon roadside sobriety tests, a person may be charged with DUI with a BAC that measures below .08%.

Speaking to an experienced Columbus DUI attorney can help reduce or eliminate the consequences that stem from a DUI conviction. Some of these consequesnces, depending on the offense, include:

  • Administrative License Suspension (ALS)

  • attendance in an alcohol treatment program paid for by the offender
