An OVI charge may carry jail time above the .17 legal limit. The mandatory minimum jail time is 6 days for a High Test OVI charge, but 3 days may be served in a Driver Intervention Program. You may also be able to avoid jail time altogether if you are able to negotiate a settlement to avoid the High Test charge. You may want to speak with an experienced attorney regarding your options to avoid the High Test charge. The OVI charge may also carry a 6-24 month license suspension.
