Convicted of "Physical control of vehicle while under influence." Now what?
Ohio
I'm 38 years old. In August of 2005 I was arrested for DUI in Ohio. It was my first.
To make a long (and expensive) story short, the charge was reduced to "Having physical control of vehicle while under influence" (Ohio Revised Code § 4511.194). This is not a DUI, DWI, etc. The penalties are reduced, and it does not put any points on my driver's license. I plead guilty to this in November 2005. In December I got my license back, and probation ended today.
Other than a speeding ticket, this is the only thing on my record. I have also given up drinking entirely.
- What does my future behold?
- Will my conviction be treated just like a DUI?
- Will employers care?
- If a rental car company will not rent to someone w/ a DUI on their record, does that mean they won't rent to me?
- Will my car insurance go up?
- Will it be a problem if I try to get a government security clearance?
I already checked into expungement. Apparently, you cannot expunge any motor vehicle violations in Ohio.
