The penalties for a third DUI conviction in Florida depend on the timeframe of the second conviction that you had. If the second conviction occurs within 10 years of a prior offense, then you’re looking at a felony DUI in the State of Florida, and that the minimum penalty for that is a 30-day jail sentence and a 10-year driver’s license suspension. So you would have two years of no driving, and then eight years of a hardship license. Then with that advanced probation classes, community service and things like that.
