If you have been arrested for DUI in
Seminole County, you have 10 days to
preserve your driving privileges. You
must act quickly or face mandatory
hard-time suspension of your driver's
license (no driving at all) for at least
six months, depending on circumstances.
It is important that you take immediate
action to preserve your ability to drive
to and from work. Losing your license
can have serious consequences, including
losing your job if you are unable to
drive yourself to and from work.
If your license has not been previously
suspended for an alcohol-related
offense, you may benefit from a new law
(effective July 1, 2013) that will allow
you to immediately reinstate your
driving privileges. You must sign up for
the appropriate level DUI school, be ID
compliant (verify citizenship and
residency requirements to DMV) and file
a Request for Eligibility Review at the
appropriate DMV office. This must all be
completed within ten days following the
date of your DUI arrest. This will
enable you to immediately apply for a
hardship hearing, reinstate your
driver's license, and avoid any
hard-time suspension.
There may be circumstances, such as
previous DUI charges, that will require
you to apply for a formal hearing to
avoid losing your driving privileges. If
your license was valid when you are
arrested, your DUI ticket will serve as
a temporary driving permit for 10 days
following the date of your arrest.
During these 10 days you must file for a
request for a formal review hearing at
the DHSMV office in the county of your
arrest.
When you file for a formal hearing
review, you will be issued a temporary
driving permit for 42 days from your
filing date. This 42 day temporary
driving permit is valid for Business
Purposes Only (BPO). You will be
assigned a date to contest your
administrative driver's license
suspension.
If you win the formal review hearing,
your license will be reinstated, the
administrative DUI suspension will be
permanently erased from your driving
record and you will have full driving
privileges.
An experienced Seminole County DUI
attorney can help you navigate the
process of protecting your driving
privileges, whether you waive a formal
hearing or request a formal hearing
review with the DMV. Legal
representation can help you keep your
driver's license and get assistance with
other vehicle related issues related to
DUI, such as Vehicle Impoundment and
Ignition Interlock problems.
