![]() The traditional way to begin driving again after a DUI arrest is to challenge the license suspension by requesting an administrative review hearing. ![]() However, the defendant only has 10 days from the date of arrest to invoke the law and continue to lawfully drive. Fortunately, new changes to Florida law now gives defendants two ways to avoid the license suspension. The legal authority for such a suspension is found in Florida Statute ยง322.2615. The DHSMV suspension is independent of any criminal action sought by the State of Florida in criminal court. The license suspension will be in effect before the driver even has an opportunity to challenge the drunk driving arrest in court. If a person is arrested for drunk driving in Florida, the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) will automatically suspend the driver's license.
