If you have been charged with drunk driving in Orlando or in any other place in Florida, you need to be aware of the "Ten Day" Rule, which states that a driver has 10 days from the DUI arrest date to request a formal review hearing and challenge the Administrative Suspension of the driver license. If this hearing is requested within this 10 day period, a temporary license will be issued. This license is good until seven days after the hearing. If the formal review hearing is not requested within this ten day period, your driver's license will be suspended. The suspension will apply for 6 to 18 months, depending on your specific case. You are allowed to drive using your citation as a driving permit during the first 10 days after your DUI arrest
