Alcohol, Drugs & DUI

What this topic is really about
Under Florida's implied consent law, accepting the privilege to drive means you consent to a breath, blood, or urine test when lawfully arrested for DUI. Refusing the test results in an automatic license suspension, and a second refusal is a misdemeanor. The penalty for refusal applies separately from any DUI conviction.
Florida's zero tolerance law makes it illegal for anyone under 21 to drive with a BAC of 0.02 or more, which can result from a single drink. A driver under 21 who refuses a breath test or tests at 0.02 or above faces an automatic license suspension.
