On which OVI conviction can a driver's license be suspended permanently in Ohio?

A driver's license suspension can occur with multiple OVI (Operating a Vehicle Impaired) convictions, but it is specifically the case of a fourth OVI conviction that results in a permanent license suspension in Ohio. After three convictions, drivers are already facing severe penalties, including an extended suspension. However, the law stipulates that a fourth conviction triggers the permanent revocation of the driver's license, which means that the individual loses the legal right to drive indefinitely. This serves as a significant deterrent against repeat offenses and underscores the seriousness with which the state treats OVI offenses, especially considering the potential dangers they pose to public safety.
