When It Comes To Multiple OWI Convictions, Does Michigan Have A “Look-Back Period?”
The most crucial “look-back period” in Michigan is a seven-year period of time between offenses. Drivers who suffer an arrest for an OWI (drugs or alcohol) within seven years of a prior OWI conviction face elevated charges and consequences. Note that the OWI 2nd Offense statute measures from prior conviction to new arrest, not arrest date to arrest date. So, attorneys must carefully scrutinize a client’s driving record to ascertain prior offense dates, and not simply rely on the prosecutor’s charging documents.
