In Florida, law enforcement agencies have the right to stop your vehicle if they suspect that you may be driving under the influence. If you are pulled over, you are only required to present identification and vehicle documentation. You are not required to answer any questions regarding your destination, number of drinks consumed, etc. You are not required to perform any roadside tests such as walking a straight line, reciting the alphabet, touching your nose, or moving your eyes from side to side. You are not required to submit to a roadside breathalyzer test but you are required to submit to testing at a regulated facility. You will be given the choice of submitting to a breath test or a blood test. You will not be given the opportunity to contact a Florida DUI lawyer until after the test is performed. If you refuse the test, your penalties will be much stiffer.

If you are arrested for driving under the influence in Florida and your blood alcohol level is .08 percent or more, you need to contact a Florida Dui Lawyer immediately. Your driver's license will be taken away by the arresting officer at the time of your arrest. A 30-day temporary permit will be issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles to allow for administrative hearing and review. If you refuse to take a test, your license will be suspended for one year, if you lose your administrative hearing.
