Avoiding A License Suspension
There are ways you can avoid having your license suspended by completing a diversionary program such as drug court, negotiating the sentence with the prosecutor to receive a withhold, getting the charges dropped or being found not guilty at trial.
Obtaining A Hardship License
The court may, in its sound discretion, direct the DHSMV to issue you a license for driving privilege restricted to business or employment purposes only, as defined by Florida Statute 322.271, if you are otherwise qualified for such a license.
