Florida DUI Laws

Florida DUI laws are meant to punish people convicted of DUI in Florida.

HOW DOES THE STATE PROVE DUI

The state must prove that 1) you were operating a motor vehicle, 2) while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance, to the extent yoru normal faculties were impiared.

If you provided a breath sample and you results were over a .08 then the law presumes that you were impaired to the extent your normal faculties were impaired. If you blew between a .08 and a .08 Florida’s DUI Laws hold there is no presumption of impairment or against impairment. While a breath result below .05 show a presumption of non impairment.

Florida’s law set the level of impairment at .08. This means that if your breath alcohol or blood alcohol is greater then .08, the law presumes you to be impaired. If you refused to give  a breath sample the State will argue that your refusal to provide a breath a sample as the law requires, then you had the mental awareness of being impaired.
