What Constitutes an Aggravated DUI in Florida?
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal under Florida law. DUI is committed when a person operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or 0.04% for CDL drivers. Keep in mind that this legal threshold isn’t required to arrest a driver for DUI, as law enforcement can arrest any person if they have probable cause to suspect the driver is impaired.
Unlike other DUI offenses, an aggravated DUI involves factors that make the offense more dangerous or reckless than a standard DUI. While a typical DUI charge can result in significant penalties, an aggravated DUI charge carries even harsher consequences. Consulting with a skilled DUI defense lawyer is essential to defend against the life-changing penalties of a felony conviction.
