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.

I live from another state but got a DUI in Toledo Ohio about four years ago. When will it go off my driving record? My insurance rate is too high till now.

The DUI in Ohio is listed at least 6 years on your driver’s record since it is noted by the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) that it is considered a first DUI violation if you are found driving 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 second offense if you have at least 1 prior OMVI within the last six years on the driving record.

From the information from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) there is no information of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) that states regarding infractions being removed of a driver record. But, an administrative decision is in effect that permits for Driver Abstracts to only reflect the last 3 years motorist record activity.

So it looks like that a DUI conviction will stay on any OH driving record that the BMV started for you indefinitely but you can verify with the BMV to find out for sure about your situation with you being an out of state resident.
