ANN ARBOR, Mich. - eTradeWire -- The holiday season brings parties, family gatherings and celebrations, but for Michigan drivers with a history of OWI offenses, alcohol-related incidents can carry consequences that extend beyond the holiday itself.

Dan Geherin of MI License Lawyer is reminding drivers with suspended or revoked licenses, active probation or ignition interlock requirements to understand their legal and licensing obligations before attending holiday events.

For individuals on probation or bond, alcohol use may violate specific conditions imposed by the court. A new OWI arrest can also create a new criminal case while potentially affecting an existing probation or bond matter.

Drivers with restricted licenses and ignition interlock devices face additional requirements. Potential interlock violations can involve alcohol readings, missed rolling retests, power interruptions and other circumstances. An alleged violation can put driving privileges at risk and may require an administrative hearing.

"People who have already gone through the process of getting their driving privileges back have a lot at stake," said Dan Geherin, driver's license restoration attorney. "A new alcohol-related incident or ignition interlock violation can create additional legal and licensing issues. It's important to understand the requirements that apply to your individual situation."

Geherin encourages anyone who has been drinking not to drive and recommends that drivers plan ahead for holiday gatherings by designating a sober driver, using rideshare transportation or arranging to stay overnight.

Drivers who believe they may have violated probation, bond conditions or an ignition interlock requirement should not ignore the situation. Reviewing the applicable paperwork, preserving documentation and obtaining legal advice can help drivers understand the potential consequences and next steps.
