DMV Hearings and DUI in Florida

In Florida, if you are arrested for DUI (driving under the influence), the arresting officer will take possession of your driver’s license. You must then schedule a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) hearing within 10 days of your arrest to contest your driver’s license suspension. If you fail to schedule a hearing then your driver’s license will automatically be suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles. If you do schedule a DMV hearing, you must appear in court before a representative from the DMV. The hearing is very complex and may include a testimony from the arresting officer. The final decision, however, will be based upon the facts presented by both sides. If you lose your DMV case, your license will automatically be suspended for a set period of time which will vary depending on the seriousness and circumstances of your case. First time DUI offenders often receive a license suspension that usually lasts for a few months. For multiple DUI offenses, license suspension can be enforced for years or even permanently.
