More and more public awareness is occurring regarding driving under the influence (DUI). However, as long as people socialize, have parties or believe that one or two drinks will take the edge off a rough day, there will be people that have had a drink and decide to drive and who can be very close to the legal limit. Because one has had a drink and then drives does not mean that person is automatically driving illegally.

What Are the Penalties for a DUI in Florida?
There are many factors involved in a DUI and the laws can become very complex and hard to understand on what is right and what is wrong. However, any DUI charge isn’t something to take lightly. Law enforcement officers have the right to pull you over if they suspect you have been driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol. It is illegal under Florida state law to drive a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) level that exceeds the 0.08% legal limit. Anyone that is found driving with a BAC level over 0.08% in Florida will be arrested and charged with DUI, no questions asked.
When a DUI charge or arrest does occur, one’s life can be turned upside down. This is a serious matter which can affect your work, family and the rest of your life, depending on the severity of the charges. Your driver’s license can be suspended or taken away and if you drive as part of your work that can adversely affect your income and possibly your job.
