Failure to Yield charges in Ohio
Failure to yield is charged when you allegedly didn't give right-of-way where required — at intersections, to pedestrians, or when merging. These tickets are common after minor collisions where fault is disputed. In Ohio, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Ohio BMV suspension threshold of 12 points in 2 years, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
