We know what you’re thinking, Tuesday is an early day to hear from your friends at the Ohio OVI Blog. It’s true; Tuesday is usually ping pong day at the Ohio OVI Blog offices, but we have news we thought you might be interested in. First, Cleveland sent out a news release today with...
Things have finally cooled off across the state, giving us all a much-needed break from the heat. But we’ll tell you what hasn’t cooled off: The Police’s desire to stop drunk driving! OK, that was probably one of our worst attempts at a transition here at the Ohio OVI Blog, but every post can’t...
Good Thursday to you, Ohio. This is the first of what will likely be several posts this weekend about checkpoints for August 5-7. In our Cleveland offices, we are getting geared up for Krusty’s Summer Sauce Camp, always a favorite. In what is likely related news, the Cleveland Police have announced that they will...
OK, so details about checkpoints for this upcoming weekend are pouring in now. Below you will find the information we have about checkpoints in Cleveland, Columbus, Bratenhal, Portage County, Ravenna, Walton Hills and Zanesville the next few days.

Happy Saturday, Ohio. As we mentioned in previous posts, the holiday weekend will have cops out in full force to stop intoxicated drivers. Our bright idea for handling this: Designate a driver if you’re going to drink. Further proving our point that the cops will be out in strong numbers is a checkpoint in...
Good afternoon Northeast Ohio. It’s time once again for us to talk about road safety this summer. Later today we’ll be posting some information about a checkpoint in Akron last weekend. For now, let’s say this: the police caught a lot of intoxicated drivers. So we’ll remind you once again, please keep our streets...
A judge ruling last week stated that Ohio officials cannot prove that a portable breath tester intended to be a statewide standard for the detection of drunken drivers is producing accurate and reliable results. Judge Gary Dumm of Circleville Municipal Court (Columbus area) ruled that test results from the cleverly named Intoxilyzer 800 will...
