It is an affirmative defense to any prosecution brought under section 4510.16 of the Revised Code that the order of suspension resulted from the failure of the alleged offender to respond to a financial responsibility random verification request under division (A)(3)(c) of section 4509.101 of the Revised Code and that, at the time of the initial financial responsibility random verification request, the alleged offender was in compliance with division (A)(1) of section 4509.101 of the Revised Code as shown by proof of financial responsibility that was in effect at the time of that request.

Driving Under Suspension can be charged as a first degree misdemeanor or as an unclassified misdemeanor.  It is a serious crime.  It is also a crime that is treated very differently depending on the jurisdiction wherein your charge takes place.  Be sure to hire an attorney who knows the court where you will appear and is familiar with how the prosecutor and judge will approach your particular facts.  At DaytonDUS, we have been representing clients for over 16 years in courts throughout the Miami Valley.  As a former prosecutor, Charles M.
