Drunk Driving Attorney 45458
Many drivers are intoxicated while behind the wheel. Drunk driving is illegal, but it is still common. On average, 32 people are killed in drunk driving accidents every day. 30% of traffic fatalities involve drunk driving. Drunk driving is something that affects everyone on the roadways, including passengers, other drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. People of all ages, from children to adults to the elderly, can be injured or killed in a drunk driving accident.
A DUI is known as operating a vehicle while impaired (OVI) in Ohio. An OVI is typically a misdemeanor, but there are some exceptions. If you have been convicted of four OVI offenses in 10 years or six offenses in 20 years, it becomes a felony.
As a misdemeanor, there is still a lot at stake. At the very least, an OVI conviction will result in a criminal record. You may also face fines and probation. You may have to perform community service or attend counseling or classes. You could be ordered to have an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle and face increased auto insurance rates and difficulty with employment opportunities in the future.
As you can see, an OVI conviction can have a long-lasting impact on your life. That is why it is important to fight your OVI charges with a strong defense. A skilled Centerville DUI attorney from The VanNoy Firm can help.
Why is Drunk Driving So Dangerous?
Alcohol and driving do not mix. That is because alcohol use makes it harder to drive safely. Here are some ways in which alcohol can affect your driving:
- Slower reaction time and decision-making. If you see a hazard ahead, alcohol can make it harder for you to react quickly and avoid it.
- Distorted perception. You may think a vehicle is further away than it really is, which can affect driving. You are more likely to get into an accident.
- Impaired vision. Things may become blurry after a few drinks. You cannot see as clearly, which can cause you to hit objects.
- Increased sleepiness. Alcohol is a depressant, so it can make you feel tired. Certain prescription medications can also make you feel drowsy, causing you to fall asleep while behind the wheel.
Who is at Risk for Drunk Driving?
Drunk driving is most common among the following groups:
- Teens. Even though alcohol consumption is illegal for those under age 21, many teens drink it anyway.
- Young adults. Those between the ages of 21 and 24 are most likely to drive while intoxicated.
- Men. Drunk driving is more common among men. They are also more likely to die in an alcohol-related crash.
