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.
