Why Are the Days Following a DUI Charge Critical for My Drivers License in Florida?

Why Are The Days Following A DUI Charge Critical For My Driver's License In Florida?

In Florida, you have 10 days before you have to make the decision whether you are going to demand a hearing. During that 10 day period, the other option for someone who's never had a DUI before is to register for DUI School. Once you've shown that you've enrolled in DUI School, on a first offense DUI, the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles will issue a Business Purpose Only (BPO) license that is good for the entire administrative suspension.

Every DUI case is actually two separate cases. There's an administrative case before the DMV and there is a court case before a judge. Both can suspend your license but they're completely independent of each other. They don't even communicate with each other.
