Florida DUI Penalties

Florida DUI penalties are some of the toughest in the nation. The penalties for a drunk driving, as well as driving under the influence of drugs, increase with the number of past convictions, and the length of time between prior DUIs.

Many factors can affect the degree of punishment for Florida DUI convictions, such as your blood or breath alcohol level at the time of arrest, if the DUI involved a collision with injuries or fatalities, prior DUI convictions, the presence of a minor in the vehicle, open containers, or even what you say to law enforcement at the time of arrest.
