- D.Penalties stay identical no matter how many convictions
Correct answer
B. Because repeat offenses show continued dangerous behavior, the law increases fines, revocation periods, and other consequences with each conviction
Why
Florida escalates DUI consequences for repeat convictions, including longer revocations and higher penalties. A prior record is one of the strongest aggravating factors in a DUI case.
