- DUI/DWIIn Florida, drinking and driving is a serious offense. In most DUI cases, you will be required to pay penalties, have your vehicle seized, and, in certain situations, face jail time. What occurs as a result of your DUI is determined by the circumstances (such as blood alcohol content at the time, refusing to take a breath test, or having a minor in the vehicle). License suspension is another potential result of a DUI in Florida.
