Although DUI arrests occur most often, the Florida Legislature has criminalized many non-alcohol-related driving regulations. These include Driving While License Suspended or Revoked, Willful and Wanton Reckless Driving, possession of an expired driver’s license, and possession of more than one driver’s license—the list seems endless. You can review some of these offenses in Chs. 316 and 322, Fla. Stat. The state imposes rigid, draconian penalties. For example, if prosecutors secure more than one conviction against you for driving on a suspended license, they may pursue the next charge as a third-degree felony. A court could then sentence you to five (5) years in the state penitentiary for what amounts to an administrative violation. A Saint Lucie County traffic lawyer could help you understand these charges and work to protect your rights.
