I was charged with my second ovi. I refused the breath test and have a witness willing to vouche for me that i was not drinking the night of my arrest. The officer misspelled my name on the ticket and another form. I was initially pulled over for speeding
I understand your situation, ****. Could you please provide your location? Laws regarding OVI and the consequences of refusing a breathalyzer test can vary by state.

Thank you for the information, ****. In Ohio:
- Second OVI can lead to harsher penalties.
- Refusing a breathalyzer can result in an immediate suspension of your license.
- Errors on a ticket may not necessarily invalidate it.
