Definition of a DUI Offense

Under Florida law, DUI (drunk driving) is one offense, proved by impairment of normal faculties or unlawful blood alcohol or breath alcohol level of .08 or above. Typically, law enforcement attempts to determine if someone is under the influence of alcohol by administering a roadside sobriety test, followed by a blood alcohol (breathalyzer) test.

Potential Punishments for a DUI Offense

The penalties upon conviction are the same, regardless of the manner in which the DUI offense is proven. Penalties (misdemeanor or felony) will vary depending on whether it is one’s first, second, third, fourth or subsequent DUI / drunkn driving conviction and whether the incident involved an accident that caused property damage, personal injury (bodily injury), DUI manslaughter or vehicular homicide. Individuals could face fines, community service, probation, imprisonment (jail / incarceration), vehicle impoundment, loss of drivers license, DUI school and installation of an ignition interlock device. In some cases, time spent in an alcohol / drug rehabilitation center will count toward jail time sentenced.
