Getting a DUI In Florida
Could Be Devastating, But....
it's not the end of the world. More importantly, if you feel there were circumstances beyond
your control that were contributing factors to the arrest, you might want to think about challenging it in the
state of Florida to save your driver's license.
Florida lawmakers have toughened the DUI laws. If you are pulled over by the police and charged with DUI,
refused to take a breath, blood or urine test, or if you took the test and your result is 0.08 or greater, you have
only 10 days to request a special hearing where you can appear in court and fight to regain your license. Failure
to do so will result in a minimum six month suspension and as much as an eighteen (18) months suspension of your
driver's license.
If any of the following facts are present in your DUI arrest, please understand that the 10 Day Rule applies to
you and you must act now.
 |
You took the breathalyzer test and
the results indicate your blood alcohol level was .08 or higher. |
 |
You refused to take the
breathalyzer test. |
 |
You tried to take the test, but the
arresting officer disagrees with your position because you couldn't blow or urinate. |
 |
You were under 21 on the day of
arrest and your test result was .02 or higher. |
 |
You have a CDL, you were in your
rig when arrested, and either had an unlawful blood alcohol level or refused to take the breathalyzer
test. |
 |
You were not sure what your blood
alcohol level was when arrested. |
Remember … getting arrested for DUI does not mean you have to lose your license or pay inflated insurance rates.
A Successful DUI Lawyer will utilize the 10 day rule to save your driver's license and driving record in the state
of Florida.
