Driving is a limited privilege in Florida. If you allow an unlicensed driver access to a vehicle that you own or that is under your dominion, you may be arrested for permitting an unauthorized driver. This may result from letting your unlicensed child access to the car, or letting a friend whose license has been revoked borrow your car to go to the store. If you've done this, no matter how well-intentioned it was, you should seriously consider speaking to a Fort Lauderdale permitting an unauthorized driver criminal defense attorney.

Often, there are questions about whether the car's owner truly authorized or gave permission to the driver. The state carries the burden of proving that there was permission. Permitting an unauthorized driver is a second-degree misdemeanor carrying possible probation. To avoid serious penalties, you should contact a Miami permitting an unauthorized driver criminal defense lawyer.
