Traffic Violations - Three Strikes You're Out

Being arrested or charged with driving while license suspended or revoked, leaving the scene of an accident, DUI, or fleeing and eluding the police can have devastating consequences on your ability to drive an automobile or truck here in the state of Florida. If you receive a withhold of adjudication or are adjudicated or convicted for any of these offenses it can count as a strike against you being able to continue to drive.

In simple terms, think of your ability to drive like a baseball game. If you are up to bat you are given three strikes and then you are out. Similarly, in the state of Florida if you are convicted, adjudicated, or receive a withhold of adjudication for three of the foregoing offenses in a five year period you will end up losing your driver's license for five years. You could be designated a habitual driving offender and usually you will not be able to get a hardship license for at least one year.

If you are caught driving on a habitual suspended license you could be facing a felony charge and facing up to five years in state prison, and/or a five thousand dollar fine among other penalties. Therefore it is extremely imperative that if you get charged or arrested for DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, fleeing and eluding, or driving while license suspended or revoked that you contact an experienced attorney in your area to help represent you in this matter.
