DUI in Florida
Florida does not take lightly cases involving driving under the influence of drugs or other controlled substances. If law enforcement concludes that your driving is impaired and you are found to have alcohol or drugs in your system, you can be arrested for DUI regardless of the amount of alcohol or drugs in your system. If your blood alcohol content is .08 percent or above you can be charged with DUI—even if your actions do not appear impaired.
If you are charged with a DUI in Florida, you face a traditional court case as well as a Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles case.
Even first offenders whose incident did not involve an accident face stiff penalties. Depending on your blood alcohol level, your first-time DUI arrest may result in—
- Up to nine months in jail
- Fines of up to $1,000
- 50 hours of community service
- Ten days of vehicle impoundment
- DUI education
- Ignition interlock on vehicle
These penalties increase with each subsequent conviction.
