Overview of OWI Charges

What is OWI?

OWI stands for Operating While Intoxicated, a serious offense in Michigan. It involves operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both, impairing your ability to drive safely. The state of Michigan has strict laws and penalties in place to address OWI offenses.

The Consequences of OWI

Being convicted of OWI can have significant consequences that may impact various aspects of your life. It is crucial to understand the potential penalties associated with this offense:

  1. Criminal Penalties: OWI convictions can result in fines, probation, mandatory substance abuse programs, community service, and even imprisonment, depending on the circumstances of the case. Repeat offenses carry harsher penalties.
  2. Driver's License Suspension: OWI convictions typically lead to the suspension of your driver's license. The duration of the suspension varies based on the number of prior convictions and the severity of the offense. This can significantly impact your daily life and ability to commute.
  3. Ignition Interlock Device (IID): In certain cases, the court may require the installation of an IID in your vehicle. This device measures your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) before allowing the car to start. IID requirements can add inconvenience and costs to your daily routine.
  4. Insurance Consequences: An OWI conviction can result in increased insurance premiums or policy non-renewal. Insurance companies often view individuals with OWI convictions as high-risk, which can lead to financial strain.
  5. Criminal Record: An OWI conviction will appear on your criminal record, potentially affecting future employment opportunities, housing applications, and other areas of your life.
