Gainesville DUI and Drugs Attorney
Experienced Defense DUI and Drugs Charges in Florida
Driving under the influence can mean driving under the influence of alcohol but is not restricted to this. Illegal drugs such as: marijuana, cocaine, and prescription drugs can impair one's driving and so are subject to the same laws as alcohol consumption.
The difference between a DUI and a DUID driving under the influence of drugs is that a DUID tends to be a more complex charge as the regulations involving driving under the influence of drugs is not as clear. There is no "legal limit," in drug DUI cases, and so the arresting officer must use his or her best judgment in deciding whether the person is fit to drive or not. Only after the arrest is made can the person's ability to drive, or lack thereof, be verified by a series of tests.
A skilled attorney can clarify your charges of DUI of drugs and greatly improve your chances of lessening or eradicating the penalties associated with it.

Understanding Drug Intoxication and DUI Charges
Driving under the influence of drugs is a serious offense in Florida that can result in severe consequences, including jail time, fines, license suspension, and a criminal record. It's important to understand how drug intoxication can affect your ability to drive and how DUI charges are determined.
Drug intoxication can impair your motor skills, judgment, and reaction time, making it dangerous to operate a vehicle. Some common drugs that can cause impairment include marijuana, cocaine, opioids, and prescription medications.
Florida law prohibits driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher and driving under the influence of any controlled substance. However, unlike alcohol, there is no legal limit for drugs, and drug impairment is determined based on evidence such as field sobriety tests, blood tests, and officer observations.
