Florida DUI Law

A person will be arrested on DUI charges if they are found driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above .08 percent. There are a few ways in which an officer may test a driver’s BAC. The first step during an initial police stop for DUI is a field sobriety test.  However, these tests are highly subjective and incredibly prone to inaccuracies.  Field sobriety tests are conducted on the side of the road and challenge the driver’s physical coordination, alertness, and ability to follow instructions.  However there are many reasons as to why a driver may perform poorly on these tests, none of which have anything to do with being intoxicated.

Although breath and blood tests are more accurate than a field sobriety test, they are not fool proof. Some factors that may cause a breath or blood test to be inaccurate include:

• The police officer wasn’t properly trained on how to use the breathalyzer machine
• The breathalyzer machine is defective or broken
• The breathalyzer machine wasn’t calibrated correctly
• Radio frequency interference
• Breath and mouth alcohol contamination
• Contaminated or broken laboratory equipment
