Business Purposes Only Driver’s License


DUI Defendants have a confusing decision to make. The State Of Florida Department Of Highway Safety And Motor Vehicles Bureau Of Administrative Reviews now allows a Request For Eligibility Review. The program is limited and there are a few drawbacks.


Using this form (HSMV 72034) the DUI Suspension can be limited, but not avoided. Waiver of the suspension hearing results in the automatic entry on your permanent driving record. The entry will indicate an alcohol-related traffic suspension for either refusing to take a breath test or a breath test result over .08.


Nevertheless, you or your lawyers can request a review of your record for the purpose of reviewing and determining eligibility for immediate reinstatement of your driving privilege on a restricted basis as provided in section 322.2615(1)(b)3, Florida Statutes.


The driver must understand the restriction is for Business Purposes Only as defined in section 322.271, Florida Statutes and the driver must pay a $25.00 filing fee for this review,  pursuant to section 322.21(9)(a). The driver must also pay a reinstatement fee of around $200.00 to get the restricted license.

Length of License Suspension for DUI

The driver must understand that the restricted license will be for the duration of the suspension period imposed under section 322.2615, Florida Statutes, as follows:
  • Driving with an Unlawful Breath-Alcohol or Blood-Alcohol Level = 6 months suspension
  • Refusal to Submit to a Breath, Blood or Urine Test = 1-year suspension

Reinstatement of the driving privilege on a restricted basis as set forth herein is conditioned on statutory eligibility requirements, including but not limited to enrollment in DUI School. A driver must also understand that acceptance of the reinstated driving privilege as provided in section 322.271(7) Florida Statutes, is deemed a waiver of my right to formal and informal review under section 322.2615, Florida  Statutes.


The Form, HSMV 72034 (0512013)  is available by email upon request from our office.

Mandatory Field Sobriety Testing Imposed in Clearwater, Florida

Clearwater DUI Arrests, New Policy on Clearwater DUI Arrests, Sean Allaster, Nicholas Capogna, David Young , Sgt. Sean Allaster, Officer Nicholas Capogna, Sgt. David Young.Before 2014, the attending officer had discretion in giving the roadside field sobriety tests (FST). Furthermore, these FST are usually “failed.” Early on January 23, 2014, two Clearwater DUI cops found the DUI driver was a fellow officer. They decided to give him a ride home with no FST. The public found out on April 29, 2014, when the Tampa Bay Times reported it. As a result, Clearwater police Chief Tony Holloway created a policy so this won’t happen again. Now almost everyone, not just suspects with a hint of alcohol on their breath can expect a run-around that almost always ends in DUI in Clearwater. 
It seems like a minor punishment that these cops received 1-5 days of work suspension. But this is a major punishment for citizens. Now, most will “fail” these roadside “tests.” Later, they pass a breath test or are not guilty. Finally, here are some of the names mentioned: Seargent Sean Allaster, Officer Nicholas Capogna, and Seargent David Young. Thank you all for your service.

Clearwater Police FST Policy

The Clearwater Police Department requires EVERY officer to conduct roadside field sobriety tests EVERY time they suspect an intoxicated driver. If you need a lawyer’s help, call (813} 222-2220.

Lawyer Reports on Clearwater Police Department DUI Unit

Clearwater DUI Attorney reports that the Clearwater Police Department DUI Team is using “slick top”, video-equipped, mostly Ford Crown Victoria, marked police cruisers. Since the cars have no visible overhead emergency lights, they are harder to spot as cop cars. Also, the police primarily patrol high volume roads throughout the city for aggressive and impaired drivers. Due to the high number of DUI in Clearwater charged, all five (5) of the officers on the team have been recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for their aggressive enforcement of drunk driving laws. W.F. ”Casey Ebsary, Jr., a Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer from Tampa is available at 877-793-9290 to assist in defending against aggressive enforcement of traffic laws.

Florida DUI Business Purposes License News
Business Permits
DUI Florida Attorney from Tampa and friend of the site, Lawyer Michael P. Maddux, www.madduxattorneys.com, just updated us on recent developments at the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Administrative Reviews, DHSMV / BAR. Michael tells me that the policy of issuing Business Purposes License is changing. Now, a BPO will be valid through seven (7) working days after the hearing.
Also the DHSMV / BAR is implementing a new policy. This new policy regards the responsibility of the BAR supervisor and hearing officers concerning paperwork issues. The DHSMV / BAR has also asked their legal staff for a legal review of their policy. This review will concentrate on how to handle subpoenaed officers who do not show up for hearings.
So the legal staff has until the middle of September to respond regarding the failure to appear by law enforcement witnesses. Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers is seeking to return the administrative formal review process to some semblance of fairness. We remain concerned about drivers’ rights to a fair hearing at the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Administrative Reviews.
