Thanks for asking me “Am I eligible for a BPO / Hardship License?”

When you get arrested for DUI in FL and have either blown over the legal limit (.08) or refused to blow then your FL driver license is automatically and administratively suspended.    

Your DUI citation itself will serve as a 10 day temporary and restricted driver licence (for more on this please watch #HaberPA’s VideoFAQ # 202)  When can I drive with a FL Hardship / BPO Driver License?) But, come day 11, if you want to drive, then you’ll have to go to DMV and seek a physical restricted BPO or “Hardship License” by way of either a Formal, an Informal or an Eligibility Review Hearing.

That said, here’s 4 ways that you’re ineligible for a BPO or “Hardship License”:  1)  If you fail to go to DMV and apply for a Formal, an Informal or an Eligibility Review Hearing within 10 calendar days of the day that your DUI citation was issued then your own inaction renders you ineligible.  DMV is very strict about the 10 day deadline and absent the most extraordinary of circumstances it has a zero-tolerance policy regarding passing the 10 day window.  2)   If you have 2 or more prior DUI convictions on your record then you’re not eligible for a BPO or “Hardship License”.  Period.  You’re eligible with 1 prior DUI conviction but not if you have a 2nd or more.  3) If you have a CDL (a commercial driver license) then you’re NOT eligible for a BPO or “Hardship License”, and it won’t matter if it’s your 1st DUI, or if you weren’t working when you got the DUI or if you were driving a private and not a work vehicle at the time of the DUI.  Having a CDL, in and of itself, disqualifies you from getting a BPO or “Hardship License”.  Finally 4) if your DUI involves serious bodily injury or if you’ve previously been charged with vehicular manslaughter then you’re also disqualified from getting a BPO or “Hardship License”.
