DUI

Christopher Paul Sohovich

I know that in California after the second DUI conviction an ignition interlock is required to be installed on the car the person drives regardless of whose name the car is under. I would imagine the same is true in OH. Contact me, I can give you a referral to an OH lawyer.

In the state of Texas a judge may order a yellow tag on any vehicle an accused has access to in his home for several reasons. For example, a multiple offender, high breath test, and an accident along with the DUI.

In New York City, the vehicle seizure statue would not apply to you. Here, they just don't yellow tag you, they seize your vehicle, if you own it of course. If it is your spouses name, then they can pick it up from the Police Precinct.

Under OHIO LAW the judge can require the restricted yellow and red plates on any FIRST offense within 6 years with a refusal or a breath test at or above .170 in addition to any SECOND offense within 6 years. The restricted plates kick in when the defendant requests limited driving privileges after a finding of guilt (plea or trial).

The plates apply to ANY vehicle that the defendant uses for the limited privileges, regardless of who owns the vehicle. The titled owner would need to trade in the regular plates for the restricted plates. A few, very narrow exceptions exist. Many of my clients simply don't request privileges in order to avoid the restricted plates.

Ohio's latest DUI law, which went into effect September 30, 2008, does not change the restricted plate requirements.
