Florida has an implied consent law, meaning that if you refuse to take a chemical test, you will be subject to an automatic suspension of your license. After being arrested for a DUI, the severity of the penalties will depend on if you are a first time or a multiple time offender. Typically, those charged with a DUI face penalties varying from jail time, heavy fines, suspension of their license, community service, mandatory alcohol education classes, and the installation of an ignition interlock device (IID). An IID is a piece of machinery that is installed to the ignition of a vehicle, and requires the driver to blow into a breathalyzer type machine before starting the vehicle. If the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) level is at .08% or higher, the car will not start. To learn more about the legal options you have after receiving a DUI, it is important to contact Attorney Hilliard.
