The two clocks: court and BMV
Your Indiana OWI arrest opened a criminal case and a separate license case with the BMV. If that date passes, your license can be suspended before you ever see a judge.
The verified license detail concerns repeat major offenses, not an ordinary first OWI. (BMV rule)
A first offense in Indiana
The statutory blood-test benchmark for intoxication evidence is at least 0.08 gram of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood (Indiana law).
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| Repeat offenses | Three qualifying major judgments within ten years can trigger a ten-year habitual-violator suspension; OWI is on that list |
| Agency steps | BMV records the sending date of a license-suspension or revocation notice in the driving record |
The judge picks a number inside each range. So ask where cases like yours land in Indiana (Indiana penalty rules).
Second and later offenses
A prior raises the penalty in every state, and Indiana is no exception. Tell the lawyer about any earlier case on the first call. Second offense DUI rules lists the states with published ranges.
Add-on fines and the newest change
Interlock orders and add-on fines in Indiana depend on the charge and the BAC. Ask the lawyer which ones apply to yours.
