Transcript

In Ohio, if you're convicted of OVI or DUI, it’s a six-point offense. You will receive a six-point warning letter from the Ohio BMV. These points will stay on your driving record for two years. After the two-year period from the conviction date, they will be erased.

If, within a two-year period, you accumulate 12 or more points on your traffic record, your license will be suspended by the BMV.

If your DUI is reduced to a reckless operation in Ohio, a reckless operation is a four-point offense, not six points.
