Florida DUI Laws
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a criminal charge that has serious implications.
Florida DUI laws prohibit a driver from operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. This can be proven by either impairment of normal faculties or unlawful blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .08% or higher.
Florida has a "per se" DUI law. If the driver's BAC level of .08 or higher is established, the prosecution does not have to additionally prove impaired driving. The fact that a person was driving with a BAC of .08% is sufficient to convict of a DUI.
DUI's are usually charged as misdemeanor. A DUI can become a felony charge, however, if there were any injuries or death involved in a DUI accident or the amount of prior DUI history. First and second DUI offenses are classified as misdemeanors. Severe penalties apply if the person's BAC level was .15 or higher, or if there was a minor under the age of 18 in the car at the time of the DUI arrest.
