If your license plate is still expired and you do not want to purchase an SR, you must provide the original citation that specifies that you failed to provide proof of insurance to the law enforcement officer subject to verification. This fee is in addition to any other fees due for suspensions cleared at the same time.
In rare cases, when an individual is exempt from the Florida No-Fault Law, a law enforcement officer may issue a citation in error or the court may request a suspension in error. When this occurs, our office must alert the Division of Motorist Services in Tallahassee of the error subject to verification and await their instruction. If the Division of Motorist Services authorizes the suspension clearance.
If they deny clearance, you will be required to comply with one of the options listed above in order to reinstate your driving privilege in Florida.

You opt to turn in the plate for the uninsured vehicle If you do not want to purchase an SR and you cannot prove that you were insured on the offense date, you can surrender the plate for the vehicle that was uninsured and operated at the time of the offense subject to verification.

How do I reinstate my license after driving without proof of insurance? This SR22 non-cancelable insurance policy must be maintained continuously for two consecutive years from the date your license was suspended. The insurance company electronically files the SR22 with the state of Florida.
In additon to the non-cancelable policy you will be required to pay a reinstatement fee. Alcohol reduces all of the important skills necessary to drive safely, such as judgement, reaction, vision and concentration. Alcohol is absorbed into the lining of the stomach and then passes directly into the bloodstream. It reaches your brain in 20 to 40 minutes. Alcohol affects those areas of your brain that control judgement and skill.
This is one reason why drinking alcohol is so dangerous; it affects your judgement. Good judgement is important to driving but in this case, judgement helps you to know when to stop drinking. In a way, it's like alcohol puts good judgement on hold. You do not know when you have had too much to drink until it is too late. It is a little like sunburn, by the time you feel it, it is already too late. Alcohol slows your reflexes and reaction time, reduces your ability to see clearly and makes you less alert.
As the amount of alcohol in your body increases, your judgement worsens and your skills decrease. You will have trouble judging distances, speeds and the movement of other vehicles. You will also have trouble controlling your vehicle. The best advice is if you drink alcohol, do not drive. Even one drink of alcohol can affect your driving.
With two or more drinks in your bloodstream you are impaired and could be arrested. It takes about an hour for your body to get rid of each drink. Time is the only thing that will sober you up.
There are ways of dealing with social situations. Arrange to go with two or more persons and agree which one of you will not drink alcohol. You can rotate among the group being a "designated driver". You can use public transportation or use a cab, if available. You will be asked to take a blood, a urine or a breath test if a law enforcement officer thinks that you are under the influence of alcoholic beverages or drugs while driving. By law, if you drive in Florida, you have agreed to take these tests if asked.
If you refuse to take the tests when asked, your license will automatically be suspended for one year. A second refusal will result in an 18 month suspension. In DUI cases involving death or serious injury, you can be required to take the blood test without your consent.
The blood must be withdrawn by a doctor, nurse or other health professional. If you are unconscious and cannot refuse the blood test, blood may be withdrawn. The results of the test may be used as evidence, even if you object after becoming conscious.
Besides alcohol, there are many other drugs that can affect a person's ability to drive safely. These drugs can have effect like those of alcohol, or even worse. This is true of many prescription drugs and even many of the the drugs you can buy without a prescription. Drugs taken for headaches, colds, hay fever or tother allergies or those to calm nerves can make a person drowsy and affect their driving.
