All about Driving Under the Influence D.U.I. Laws in Florida
The Driving Under the Influence (D.U.I.) charge is a criminal traffic offense in
Florida. This document is meant to better inform those charged with D.U.I. of their
options regarding the protection of their driver's license and the available defenses in
court. D.U.I. is a serious criminal charge which carries up to six (6) months in jail and a one (1) year driver's license revocation for the first offense. A second conviction carries up to nine (9) months to one (1) year in jail and a mandatory five (5) years minimum driver's license revocation, if convicted within five years of the prior conviction. The penalties are even higher for subsequent convictions. In Florida, DUI can be either a Felony or a Misdemeanor depending on the circumstances. You may also be charged with and convicted of multiple DUI's arising out of one incident, depending on how many "victims" there are, or how much property damage ocurred.
