Drivers can be arrested for a DUI if they are in physical control of their vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol to the point of impairment of normal functions, including hearing, balancing, seeing and talking. In other words, DUI charges can be closely linked to drug crimes as well. What actually determines whether or not a person is driving under the influence is their blood alcohol content (BAC). The legal limit for Florida drivers is 0.08% BAC when tested via a breathalyzer, blood or urine test. Anything at or above this limit will result in a DUI arrest.

Florida has a complied consent law, meaning that any individual who operates a vehicle has given consent to submit to a BAC test during a traffic stop.
If a person refuses to submit to such a test, they will be arrested and receive a "Notice of Suspension" that can last for up to one year. If this is the second time a person has refused a test, their license can be suspended for up to 18 months.
It is also important to note that a driver has only 10 days following their
arrest to fight for their driving privileges.
