The same rules and consequences apply to out-of-state drivers as to Floridians. Florida, along with Washington D.C. and 45 other states, has signed an agreement called the Interstate Driver’s License Compact. This agreement states that DUI arrests and convictions will likely be reported to the state where you reside. Your home state will be the one to suspend your license and issue any fines or other applicable consequences against you.
Prior convictions for DUI charges from different states can be used against you. However, prosecutors are not always practical with their usage. An Orlando DUI lawyer gives you the best opportunity to suppress the usage of past convictions from other states against you.
