Can a DUI be reduced to reckless driving?
Sometimes. But it is not automatic.
Whether a Florida DUI may be resolved as reckless driving can depend on the evidence, the circumstances of the stop, breath or blood testing, field sobriety evidence, video, prior history, and issues the defense identifies in the prosecution’s case.
The charge on the arrest paperwork is the beginning of the case, not necessarily the final outcome.
A DUI should be evaluated based on the evidence, not assumptions about what happens after an arrest.
