Fourth DUI Charges in Florida

Under Florida Statute § 316.193, an alleged offender can be charged with DUI if he or she drives or is in actual physical control of a vehicle and either has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher or is under the influence and deprived of full possession of normal faculties to drive.

Being convicted of a fourth or subsequent DUI offense would inflict severe penalties that are meant to have a lasting impact on your life. Fourth DUI offenses are considered third-degree felonies regardless of the amount of time that has passed since the person's last DUI conviction.

The following penalties could be imposed on a person that has been charged with their fourth or subsequent DUI offense:

Potential penalties for a fourth-offense DUI include:

• Up to 5 years in prison
• Lifetime driver’s license revocation
• Fines up to $2,000 ($4,000 if BAC was 0.15 or higher)

Lifetime Driver’s License Revocation

Possibly one of the harshest consequences of a fourth DUI conviction in Florida is having your driver's license permanently revoked, regardless if the offense is treated as a lesser DUI charge by the trial court at sentencing.

A fourth or subsequent DUI will result in you having your driver's license permanently revoked. Florida law now allows a person to qualify for a hardship license after serving 10 years of their revocation period. After those 10 years, you become eligible to apply for a hardship driver's license. However, you must first successfully complete DUI School and any recommended treatment.
