Florida DUI Laws
By Josh Riverside


DUI laws are defined by each state. These are mostly similar except for a few exceptions. Generally, drinking and driving is a very serious offence in most states and can affect a person considerably if he/she is convicted under DUI.

Florida has some very strict DUI /DWI (Driving under influence/driving while intoxicated) laws. DUI implies impaired driving or driving with a high UBAL (unlawful blood alcohol level). Every person driving a motor vehicle gives an ?implied consent? to take a chemical breath test when suspected of drunk driving by an official. There could be blood tests and urine tests also for determining the levels of alcohol in blood and urine. Specific tests are conducted if the person is involved in an accident or if suspected of vehicular homicide.

Florida DUI law comes under DUI (Driving Under the Influence of Alcoholic Beverages, Chemical Substances or Controlled Substances). s. 316.193, F.S. DUI can be proved as an offense that is proved by impairment of normal faculties or unlawful blood/breath alcohol levels.
