It is a crime to drive in the State of Florida if your driver's privilege has been either suspended, canceled, or revoked as provided by law. Any person convicted of driving while license suspended for the first time will be facing criminal penalties ranging from a fine up to $500.00 and jail up to sixty days.
When a police officer has probable cause to arrest an individual for driving under the influence, he is allowed by law to request that person submit to the taking of a breath test.
The penalties for driving under the influence increase based on the frequency of conviction and the severity of the offense.
Florida law now allows a police officer to confiscate your drivers license on the date of your arrest for DUI in two situations.
If your license has been taken from you as a result of a DUI conviction or, as a result of having refused to take a breath or blood test or having failed such a test, you may wish to inquire as to your eligibility for a hardship license.
