Know Your Rights – Orlando Car Accident Lawyer
Got stopped at a DUI checkpoint in Orlando and weren’t sure what to do?
Here’s what Florida law says:
Do you have to stop?
Yes. If you’re pulled over at a checkpoint, you must show your license, registration, and proof of insurance.
Can you refuse a breath or blood test?
You can say no—but refusing a chemical test can lead to a 1-year license suspension (or 18 months if you’ve refused before).
Can you avoid a checkpoint?
Yes—as long as the turn or detour is legal and safe. But if you break a traffic law while trying to avoid it, police may stop you anyway.
