Is it possible to plead to the lesser offense of “wet reckless” in Florida?
“Wet reckless” is formally known as reckless driving involving alcohol. The charge does not require proof that your blood alcohol content (BAC) was over the legal limit, simply that you were driving dangerously after having consumed alcohol. Prosecutors are sometimes willing to accept a plea to this reduced charge when the defendant is sympathetic and/or the proof of DUI is tenuous. DUI defendants who accept a plea bargain to wet reckless receive lesser punishments and can retain their driving privileges. It’s advisable to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney who knows how to bargain down to a lesser offense.

How can the state of Florida take away my Virginia driver’s license?
Florida belongs to the interstate Driver License Compact, an agreement among the majority of states to honor all the participants’ court decisions with regard to license suspensions and revocations. Out-of-state drivers convicted of DUI in Florida lose their home state licenses until they fulfill Florida’s requirements for reinstatement. The same is true of Florida drivers who commit traffic offenses in states that belong to the interstate compact.
