arrested in Florida and I am from out of state, can I go to a DUI school in my home state

Posted by John P. Rutkowski | Jul 13, 2022 | 0 Comments

Although Florida seems to have made it very difficult to answer this question, there is a simple answer. If you live out of state and are convicted of a DUI or Reckless Driving in Florida, you will be required to attend and complete a DUI school. In Florida, for a first DUI conviction, completion of a level one DUI school is required before your privilege may be restored. If the conviction is for a second or subsequent DUI, Florida requires completion of a level two DUI school.

Florida will accept any out of state DUI school completion certificate so long as the school is state certified, in the state you live in, and the level or type of course is comparable to the level course required in Florida.
