DUI - Driving Under the Influence
Cohen Battisti, Orlando DUI Defense Lawyers / Attorneys

The term “DUI” in Florida means “Driving Under the Influence” of alcohol or a controlled substance (“controlled substance” -- this can be either an illegal narcotic or a medication that you can only get with a prescription).  While it is not illegal to drink alcohol and drive, it is illegal to drive “under the influence” when your ability to drive a car has been affected by alcohol or drugs, such as when you can no longer judge distances or react to emergencies while driving. 

DUI is a criminal traffic offense, whose penalties are more and more severe each time there is a conviction.  For example, a first-time DUI conviction doesn’t require jail time as part of the sentence.  But a second-time DUI conviction within five (5) years of the first requires a minimum of ten (10) days jail.  You should also know that DUI can be charged as a felony under certain circumstances.  And, if arrested for DUI, your Florida Driver License can be suspended by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
