FAQ
Under Florida law, your driver's license can be administratively suspended immediately upon a DUI arrest if you either refuse to submit to a breath, urine, or blood test, or if you submit to a breath test and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is . 08% or higher.
For a first-time DUI conviction, Florida law imposes the following potential jail sentences: Up to 6 months in jail if your BAC was below 0.15% and there were no aggravating factors. Up to 9 months in jail if your BAC was 0.15% or higher, or if a minor was in the vehicle at the time of the offense.
Reducing Your DUI to Reckless Driving in Florida A reckless driving conviction is a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida and results in jail time not to exceed 60 days.
The DUI arrest process in Florida is a multifaceted procedure, encompassing the initial stop, field sobriety and breathalyzer tests, arrest and booking, arraignment and plea, pre-trial motions and hearings, trial, sentencing, driver's license administrative hearings, and potentially the appeal process.
Contrary to popular belief, a positive breathalyzer or breath test in Florida does not always lead to a conviction. Nearly 40 percent of the 55,000 people that are arrested on DUI charges are not convicted.
