Understanding the Impact of a Second DUI in Florida

Under Florida law, a second DUI conviction is a misdemeanor. However, the penalties are much more severe than those for a first-time DUI. If you are convicted of a second DUI, you will face the following penalties:

  • Up to 9 months in jail
  • Up to $2,000 in fines
  • License suspension for up to 5 years
  • Ignition interlock device (IID) installation for at least 1 year
  • Vehicle impoundment for at least 30 days
  • Probation for up to 1 year
  • At least 5 years of SR-22 insurance

In addition to these penalties, you will also have a criminal record. This can make it difficult to find employment, housing, and even obtain certain professional licenses. You will also face higher insurance premiums and may be required to attend alcohol education or treatment programs.

Penalties for Third and Subsequent DUIs in Florida 

If you are convicted of a third or subsequent DUI, you will face even more severe penalties. A third DUI conviction is a third-degree felony, while a fourth or subsequent DUI conviction is a second-degree felony. Both types of convictions carry significant penalties.
