Driving on a suspended license in Florida can be a traffic ticket or a criminal charge, depending on whether you knew. How the penalty tiers work, what the State must prove, and how to get reinstated.
Refusing a breath, blood, or urine test after a Florida DUI arrest carries a 1-year license suspension (18 months for a repeat refusal) and can be used as evidence. How implied consent works, which tests it covers, and what to do within 10 days.
Reckless driving in Florida is a criminal charge, not a traffic ticket: willful or wanton disregard for safety, not a simple mistake. The penalties by offense and injury level, how it differs from careless driving, and how it connects to a DUI case.
What a Florida DUI charge actually carries (jail, fines, license revocation, and when it becomes a felony) plus the implied consent rules for refusing a breath test.
Florida's fleeing-and-eluding law has no misdemeanor tier: the baseline charge is a felony, and a 2025 law change made every level harsher. How § 316.1935 grades the offense, what changed, and how it differs from reckless driving, resisting arrest, and hit-and-run.
Leaving the scene is the crime, whether or not you caused the crash. Penalties at each level, the license revocation, and what to do if you are accused.
