Types of DUI

Created by FindLaw's team of legal writers and editors | Last updated June 20, 2016

Drunk driving laws are not limited to just alcohol impairment in automobiles, and different circumstances and past criminal convictions affect how each DUI defendant is charged. Commercial truck drivers, for example, must adhere to much stricter DUI regulations than those affecting non-commercial motorists. Someone convicted of a third DUI in Florida, for example, faces a minimum two-year driver's license suspension. This section contains articles covering the various different types of DUI charges and the scope of such laws, such as drunk biking, aggravated DUI, felony DUI, and more.

Learn About Types of DUI

  • Aggravated DUI

    Your DUI charge could get much worse very quickly if you were breaking the law in more than one way, such as driving under the influence while speeding. This is known as an aggravated DUI.

  • Commercial DUI Regulations

    Most people should not drink on the job. This holds doubly true when your job involves driving. Click here to learn about driving under the influence while holding a commercial driver's license.

  • Drunk Biking

    You do not need to be in a car in order to be guilty of driving under the influence. Operating other vehicles can also become the basis for a DUI, and bicycles are no exception.

  • Felony DUI

    Felony DUI's happen when someone gets convicted of a DUI with another aggravating factor present: such as driving on a revoked license, or with children present in the vehicle.
