DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
DUI Related Stats :
According to state Department of Transportation statistics, there were 582 alcohol-related deaths on our state highways in 2005, and 544 in 2006, the latest year for which data were available.

DUI - DWI - ODWI? :
Unlike DUI, DWI, or OWUI cases that involve alcohol, there is generally no per se or legal limit that is employed for persons accused of driving under the influence of prescription medication or illicit drugs (although this is not the case in Ohio[citation needed]). Instead, the key inquiry focuses on whether the driver's faculties were impaired by the substance that was consumed. The detection and successful prosecution of drivers impaired by prescription medication or illegal drugs can therefore be difficult.
