Felony Drunk Driving Penalties

In addition, you could lose your right to drive for 10 years and not be eligible for a hardship license for two years. If you are convicted of a fourth DUI, you will spend up to five years in jail and lose your right to drive in Florida forever.
DUI With an Auto Accident
If you cause serious bodily injury while driving under the influence, you could face a fine of up to $5,000, a jail sentence of up to five years, or both. In these cases, the police officer will conduct two investigations: the accident and the DUI. Once the accident investigation is complete, the officer must announce that a criminal investigation of the DUI is beginning and read you your Miranda rights. Failure to do so is a violation of your rights and could create grounds for the dismissal of the criminal charges.
