OVI (Operating Vehicle Impaired; Operating Vehicle Under the Influence; Operating a vehicle under the influence: The acronyms DUI, DWI, OMVI and OVI all refer to the same thing: operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The most commonly used terms are DUI, an acronym for Driving Under the Influence, and DWI, an acronym for Driving While Impaired. However, Ohio law no longer uses the DUI and DWI acronyms because, in 1982, Ohio enacted a law that refers to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs as "OMVI," an acronym for Operating a Motor Vehicle Impaired.  ohiobar.org Dominator_Salvator) |
