Choices Matter For Your Future 
The True Costs/fine/fees of a DUI In Florida 

License Suspension 
In the State of Florida, even a first offense can result in a minimum license suspension of 180 days. If there is a second conviction, you could be looking at a minimum license revocation of 5 years if your second offense is within 5 years of the first. Also, the state mandates a minimum of 12 days where your vehicle is required to be impounded. Could you imagine not being able to drive for that long?

Jail Time 
Most offenses often result in an arrest. With an arrest could mean that you are facing additional time behind bars. Courts are allowed to impose up to 6 months in jail as your sentence. Jail time is not something that you would want to experience.

Attorney’s Fees 
Attorney fees for your case could add up to a substantial amount of money out of your pocket. Cases are often jury trials, which are lengthy. This means that your lawyer will spend a lot of time in court fighting your case. The purpose of this is to only mitigate some of the mandatory consequences that the prosecutor can impose.

Criminal Record 
This type of offense goes on your criminal record. If you have a criminal record, you will have trouble securing employment or continuing your education. Employers view people with an alcohol offense as being unreliable and untrustworthy. For you, this is a very difficult thing to overcome for your future.

The Alternative 
Do the consequences of an alcohol offense seem reasonable to you? Do you really like the idea of spending 6 months in jail or losing your license? Do you want a criminal record? Is this really a chance that you would want to take with your freedom and your ability to find a job in the future? The true cost of an offense is the attorney fees, jail time, license suspension, and a criminal record that you will face whenever you are facing a DUI.

Hire A Professional Driver 
The best way to be able to enjoy your night out is by hiring a professional driver. You can travel to your destination without having to worry about driving home. If you happen to have too good of a time, you know that you’ll have reliable transportation to get back home. This type of transportation won’t result in a criminal record, or you endangering the life of others on the road or the people traveling with you. Hiring a driver is the safe, responsible alternative to risking a DUI. It shows that you are a good decision maker who is willing to plan in advance – something that is a respectable quality among your family and friends.

No Need To Worry About Getting a Ride Home 
Do you really think that you can enjoy your night out when you constantly have to worry about getting a ride back home? Unfortunately, you cannot relax and unwind with your friends until you know who your designated driver is going to be. When you have your arrangements booked for your transportation, you will already know who your designated driver is with no need to call one.

Cost Of Driver Can Be Divided Up 
Another thing to remember is that you can also split the cost of your transportation with your friends whenever you are planning your night out. Divided up, the cost of getting transportation is not all that expensive when compared with the possibility of losing your life on the road or facing jail time.

Able To Travel in a Stylish Way 
The best part about choosing professional transportation is that you will be able to travel in a very stylish way. Your chauffeur will drive you directly to your final destination without you having to hassle with finding parking or finding a ride whenever you get home.

Equipped With a Vehicle 
A professional driver comes equipped with a vehicle which is also very comfortable and offers a ton of amenities. These can include spacious, comfortable heated seats, leather, a fun atmosphere with music, and more exciting and fun amenities. Imagine what kind of a wonderful impression you can make whenever your chauffeured vehicle pulls up to the place where you are supposed to be dropped off at?

Ensure You’re Dealing With A Professional 
A professional driver is also a great alternative because a professional is truly that – a professional. This is an individual whom you can be confident is background checked, vetted, and has a solid track record. You don’t often know what you’re going to get with some of the other ride-sharing alternatives. With a professional driver, you are guaranteed that the person who is supposed to drive you home is going to show up on time when it comes time to pick you up.
