If you wanna restore your driving privileges after your DUI charge in Jacksonville, Florida, you should apply for a hardship license. If your driver’s license was suspended because your blood alcohol content was at .08% or above or you refused to take the chemical test, you must show a proof of enrolment in DUI School and you should apply for an administrative hearing for possible hardship reinstatement. If you had an unlawful BAC, you should serve 30 days without driver’s license or permit prior to eligibility for hardship reinstatement. If you refused the chemical test for the first time, you must serve 90 days without driver’s license or permit prior to eligibility for hardship reinstatement.

A person is disqualified or prohibited for a hardship license upon second or subsequent license suspension for test refusal or if driver has been convicted for DUI two or more times. Anyone who is disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle could not obtain a hardship license to operate a commercial motor vehicle.
