Help With DUI Bail Bonds in Florida
What is a DUI/DWI?
DUI stands for Driving Under the Influence, and DWI stands for Driving While Intoxicated. A DUI typically refers to operating a vehicle while impaired by drugs—whether recreational or prescribed—while a DWI usually involves driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over the legal limit of 0.08%. If you’re caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you will likely be arrested.
Bond Violations
A bond violation occurs when an individual fails to comply with the conditions of their release. Common violations include:
- Leaving home while under house arrest
- Missing court dates
- Failing a drug test, especially in DUI/DWI cases
- Violating bond conditions can lead to re-arrest or additional charges.

Bail Bonds FAQs
Do DUI/DWI charges vary by state?
Yes. Each state sets its own legal definitions and penalties for DUI/DWI offenses, including the amount of bail.
Does driving under the influence of cannabis count as a DUI?
Yes. Even in states where cannabis is legal recreationally, driving after use can still lead to a DUI charge.
Can prescription or over-the-counter medication lead to a DUI?
Absolutely. Any substance—legal or not—that impairs your ability to drive safely can result in a DUI charge. Many medications can cause drowsiness or delayed reaction times.

Refusing a breathalyzer can result in automatic license suspension. In some states, it could even impact professional licensing.
