Best Answer

1st and 2nd DUI offenses in Florida are misdemeanors as long as they don't involve death or serious bodily injury.

A 3rd offense within 10 years of your 2nd conviction is a felony.

4th and subsequent offenses are always felonies.

What is the difference between a misdemeanor DUI and a felony DUI?

The main difference between a misdemeanor DUI and a felony DUI is the severity of the offense. A misdemeanor DUI typically involves first or second time offenses with no significant aggravating factors, while a felony DUI usually involves multiple DUI convictions, serious injury or death caused by driving under the influence, or other aggravating circumstances that elevate the offense to a felony level.
