Conviction under Florida Statute 893
Many years ago the Florida Legislature mandated the DHSMV shall suspend your license upon any conviction for a drug related possession charge under this statute. Even if you were not driving at the time of the offense, the State of Florida will suspend your license upon a court conviction. Below is a sample of other reasons that your driver’s license may be suspended by the court or the DHSMV. Some suspensions just require a reinstatement fee to reinstate your license. Other suspensions, like a violation of Florida Statute Chapter 893, require you to complete a DUI school before your license will be re-instated. Even though the crime involves drug(s) the DHSMV will require completion of DUI school in order to reinstate your license.
Here is a list of several charges, and the potential time for each charge:
