How Long WIll A DUI Charge In Ohio Stay on My Record?
Reader’s Question:
If I will be hired by a company and use a company car how far removed does my DUI have to be? I live in Lakewood, Ohio and it has almost been three years..

The DUI in Lakewood, Ohio is listed at least six years on your driver’s record since it is noted by the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) that it is considered a 1st DUI violation if you are found driving a car with a prohibited alcohol concentration or drug of abuse with no prior OVIs within the last six years on the driving history. It is considered a 2nd violation if you have at least one prior OMVI within the last six years on the driving history.
If you want to know how long exactly your DUI will stay on your driving history then check with the BMV. As for use of a company car, typically this is up to the individual company and their insurance company so you would have to speak with the hiring agent if the DUI on your driving record would keep you from using the company car or not.
Senior Car Insurance Question in Ohio
Reader’s Question:
I have a parent who is 85 years old and recently tried to renew his license but was denied for failure of an eye exam. He is still paying full coverage car insurance in Ohio. What would happen if he or someone else has an accident in his car? He is the only one rated by insurance provider and has not told them of his non-renewal.

Your 85 year old parent should contact his insurance provider and inform them of the situation regarding the non-renewal of his driver’s license. Since he does not currently hold a valid license, it is possible that his insurance provider would have the right to deny a claim if he was in an accident. If someone else is driving his car they might be covered under his policy, but only her insurance provider will be able to tell you the specifics of his policy and give you an accurate answer to this question.
Your elderly parent should contact his insurance provider to find out what suggestions they have. If he will no longer be able to operate, he might consider selling his car to someone who can insure it and drive him around. Most DMVs have an alternative transportation database to assist people who can no longer drive so you may check in Toledo Ohio for more information regarding this.
Will My Insurer Know About the Written Warning for Speeding Ticket
Reader’s Question:
When I was driving to work, I was stopped for doing 45 mph in a 25 mph. The State Patrol gave me a written warning, with no fine. With what happened, will my insurance company be contacted?
Erica
Dayton, OH
Typically a ticket for exceeding the speed limit in Dayton, OH by more than 5 mph, when the limit is less than 55 mph, results in receiving two points on your Ohio driver’s license. Since you received a written warning with no fine, this violation might not be placed on your Ohio driving record. Although, some states do not carry a fine or require a court appearance for a written warning; it instead serves as a reminder for you about your speedy driving. On some other states, they will file this warning or place a notation regarding it on your driving record. To find out for certain what Ohio does regarding written warnings, check with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or Traffic Violation Bureau.
Your insurance company will not be contacted by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, but if the speeding offense is recorded by the Ohio State Patrol and placed on your motor vehicle record, your car insurance company will see the violation when they next look up your MVR. They normally do this when you start a policy, make changes and/or at renewal time.
