I recently got a DUI in FL and asked for a formal hearing is my ticket still my drivers license or do i need to go to the DMV.
FloridaDUIPRO.com answered: your ticket is your license for the first ten days. after that, you
will need a business-purpose license. in order to get that, you'll need
to go to the bureau of driver improvement in your county. ask for a
formal review of the suspension and a hardship permit. they'll schedule
the formal review hearing and give you the permit if there are no other
unrelated holds on your license. if you are already beyond the ten
days, you can still go and ask for the permit, but you will likely have
to waive the "thirty day" requirement within which they are required to
schedule your hearing.
