The Back on Track program is a great option for many first-time offenders in Miami-Dade County. It provides the chance to complete a program rather than be prosecuted for your first DUI. If you qualify for this program and successfully complete it, you can have your DUI charge changed to a reckless driving charge.
To qualify, it must be your first arrest for DUI. The following are the other criteria to qualify for the program:
No car accident or injury to another person
No minor children were in the car during the incident
No open alcohol containers in the vehicle
Your criminal record cannot exceed one prior nonviolent felony or two prior misdemeanor convictions
You aren’t allowed to have completed more than one misdemeanor diversion program
You must not have been driving on a suspended license when arrested for their DUI
Disqualifying factors include reckless driving, a high rate of speed during the DUI arrest, having too many previous points on your driving record, or blowing higher than 0.25 into the breathalyzer machine.
