IS YOUR LICENSE SUSPENDED IMMEDIATELY AFTER A DUI IN FLORIDA?

In Florida, a driver’s license is immediately suspended upon arrest for DUI.
For the next 10 days, you may only drive to work or for business purposes, using the ticket as a permit.
At the end of the 10 day period, the license will either be fully suspended, suspended with work privileges, or reinstated – all of which is dependent upon the actions of the defendant.
