In every state of America, there is zero tolerance for driving under the influence (DUI). However for every state the penalties for drunk driving are different.

Some have considerably harsh punishments while others not so much. Florida DUI penalties are not inclusive of enhanced penalty laws, which refer to more serious consequences if caught while drunk driving.

Orlando DUI penalties apply when any person’s blood alcohol level is 0.08%. If any law enforcement officer suspects a person of being drunk and driving, then he can ask that individual to submit to a breath analysis test, or perhaps even a blood and urine test.

It is legally mandatory for the suspect to submit to the test but if he or she doesn’t, then Orlando DUI penalties will be enforced again regardless of whatever the blood alcohol level is. Such an individual’s license may be suspended for at least one year without any chance of having such a punishment revoked.

On the other hand, if a person does submit to a breath test or blood or urine test to have his blood alcohol level measured, and it is 0.08% or more, then Orlando DUI penalties can be applied.

The most common penalty is to have the individual’s license suspended, either temporarily or permanently. In Orlando, Florida if you are caught for the first time while under the influence, then the usual suspension of the driving license is for a period of ninety days.

If it is your second offense, then the penalty is suspension of the license for one year. But if it is the third time or more, then you can actually have your driving privileges revoked for at least three years.

If you don’t want yourself to deal with these penalties, you should contact your Orlando DUI attorney and request them to take things forward on your behalf.
