According to Ohio Revised Code 4511.191, if you are arrested on suspicion that you are operating a vehicle while impaired (commonly called a DUI) and you take a chemical test which produces a result which is over the per se limit as set by the Ohio Department of Health, your license will be suspended immediately. Depending on previous offenses or refusals, you can have your license suspended for a period of 1 year to 5 years. After a second offense your vehicle may also be immobilized.
You, or your attorney, can appeal the automatic license suspension (O.R.C. 4511.197) at the initial court appearance which will be held within 5 days of the arrest or the issuance of a citation. The filing of an appeal will not stay the suspension. Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 4510.021, a driver may petition the court for limited driving privileges any time subsequent to the date on the notice of suspension. This petition may be filed in the municipal, county, or in the case of a minor, juvenile court with jurisdiction over the place at which the arrest occurrsuspension on a person who had a OVI conviction 6 years First 180 days of suspension on a person who had 2 previous OVI convictions within 6 years;

- First 30 days of suspension on a person who had a previous OVI conviction within 6 years.
- First 180 days of suspension on a person who had 2 previous OVI convictions within 6 years.
- No driving privileges granted if a person has had 3 previous OVI convictions within 6 years;
- A person, who within the preceding 7 years, has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to 3 or more OVI violations cannot be granted limited privileges.
If you plead guilty to OVI (drunk driving) or enter a no-contest plea to OVI (drunk driving) the automatic license suspension will terminate. O.R.C. 4511.191. Ohio law requires the court to suspend your license upon entry of a plea to an OVI offense (example: a first-time OVI offender has a mandatory license suspension of a minimum of six (6) months). Effectively, your ALS suspension will end and a court suspension will begin. After serving the term of your suspension, reinstatement of your license is required before you can legally drive.
