Pinellas County DUI School

DUI school is required to obtain a hardship license or reinstate your driving privileges after:

• an on-the-stop administrative suspension; or
• a court-ordered driver’s license revocation after a DUI conviction.

You can enroll in DUI school in the county where you live or work. If you live or work in Pinellas County, you can enroll in DUI school at the Suncoast Safety Council, with offices in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Tarpon Springs, FL.

Even if your case is reduced to a lesser offense, such as reckless driving, completing DUI school might be a negotiated part of the requirements to complete probation. At Sammis Law Firm, we represent men and women charged with DUI in Pinellas County.
