Florida DUI Driving Restrictions 
 

   The stigma associated with the letters DUI is enough to make your stomach cringe, trust me I know. The first thing someone facing a DUI must know, is that he or she has ten days to get his personal affairs in order before DUI driving restrictions take effect. This means, that from the night/day of his DUI arrest, one has 10 days to continue driving on his/ her license before restrictions take effect. After ten days, the license is officially suspended and one absolutely cannot get caught driving on any road. If one is fortunate enough to get a DUI lawyer, the DUI lawyer will handle getting a temporary “hardship,” or “business purposes only” driving permit. This permit allows one to drive for business purposes only. The term “business purposes” strictly applies to work, school, medical, and church related trips. Anytime an individual is caught driving outside these restrictions, he or she faces a maximum of 30 days in jail. Most counties hold an individual for less than 30 days, but there are counties in Florida that will indubitably prosecute an individual for the maximum 30 day period.
