The OVI Quick-Reference Guide
The Ohio OVI Pocket Guide is a quick-reference resource designed to help Ohio drivers understand what Harmony Law generally recommends during an OVI stop. It covers police questioning, field sobriety tests, searches, chemical testing, and what to do if you are arrested.

Key Things to Know
A quick overview of the most important guidance in the Ohio OVI Pocket Guide.
During the Stop
Pull over safely, remain polite, provide required documents, and comply with lawful orders. Do not argue or physically resist.
Testing & Searches
The guide addresses investigative questions, field sobriety tests, searches, and the separate decision involving breath, blood, urine, or oral-fluid testing.
If You Are Arrested
Ask for a lawyer and stop discussing the case. Do not try to explain your way out of the arrest or tell the officer your side of the story.
