ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- A first-time OWI can be an overwhelming experience for Michigan drivers. Beyond potential criminal penalties, an OWI can create separate driver's license issues involving the Michigan Department of State. Dan Geherin is helping drivers understand the potential impact of an OWI on their driving privileges and the steps that may be available.
In Michigan, DUI offenses are generally referred to as Operating While Intoxicated (OWI). The consequences of a first OWI can vary based on factors including a driver's BAC, driving history, whether an accident occurred, and whether anyone was injured.
Drivers may face fines, points, license restrictions or suspension, increased insurance costs, and other consequences. In some circumstances, ignition interlock requirements may also apply.
For drivers who have already lost their driving privileges, license reinstatement in Michigan may involve more than paying a fee. Depending on the reason for the suspension or revocation, drivers may need to complete specific requirements or participate in an administrative hearing.

"Drivers often don't realize that an OWI can create both criminal and administrative driver's license issues," said Dan Geherin of MI License Lawyer. "Understanding your current license status, knowing your deadlines, and following any restrictions are important steps toward protecting your driving privileges."
Drivers facing an OWI or other Michigan driver's license problem are encouraged to seek legal advice before making decisions that could affect their driving privileges.
