DUI Immobilization
When you are charged with a DUI, the courts will order your car to be immobilized for 10, 30, or 90 days. Instead of having your vehicle towed or impounded, City Booting will come out to your home to immobilize your vehicle at the convenience of your residence. We are licensed to offer this service, and we have the lowest rates in the region. We even fill out your requisite paperwork once the immobilization period has been completed, so you comply with your court orders. So contact us when you need immobilization services.
Each DUI Conviction varies in immobilization time
Impoundment or immobilization of your vehicle under the Florida D.U.I. Florida Statute section 316.193(6) could be quite confusing.
– For the first conviction the Court must order, as a condition of probation, order the impoundment or immobilization of the vehicle that was operated by or, in the actual control of the Defendant or, any one vehicle registered in the Defendant’s name at the time of impoundment or immobilization, for a period of 10 days or, for the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that expires within 10 days
– For the second conviction, the Court must order, as a condition of probation, order the impoundment or immobilization of ALL vehicles owned by the Defendant at the time of impoundment or immobilization, for a period of 30 days or, for the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that expires within 30 days.
Clerk Of Court Must Send Defendant Notification
– For the third conviction, the Court must order, as a condition of probation, order the impoundment or immobilization of ALL vehicles owned by the Defendant at the time of impoundment or immobilization, for a period of 90 days or, for the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that expires within 90 days.
The Court at the time of sentencing will issue an Order for the impoundment or immobilization of a vehicle. Within 7 business days – after the date of the court order – the Court issues the Order for impoundment or immobilization, simultaneously, the Clerk of the Court must send notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the registered owner of the vehicle, if the registered owner is a person other than the Defendant, and to each person of record claiming a lien against such vehicle.
