Unlike first time DUIs, the second time DUI offense contains harsher penalties or consequences especially when the arrested person commits drinking and driving within five years of the prior DUI conviction.
Basically, the individual may be charged with fines ranging from $1000 - $1500, five years license suspension if commits DUI within 5 years of the prior, ten days to nine months imprisonment, thirty days vehicle impoundment, one year probation and ignition interlock device installed approximately one year depending on the breath test result.

Fines
For second time DUI conviction, the individual will pay a fine of not less than $1000 and not more than $2000. And if the convicted person blew over .15 BAC, then a corresponding penalty is levied, certain penalties may be enhanced and the fines can't be less than $2000 and not more than $4000.
Community Service
The second time DUI offender is usually required to attend 50 hours of community service, and additional fine of $10 for each hour of service that the individual wants to buy out. But the court allows only one half of the hour to be bought out.
Probation
The second time DUI offender is required to complete a total period of probation without committing any crime. And he must also serve one year of incarceration. If there is no incarceration required, the court will just impose twelve months of probation.
Jail Time
The jail sentence for second DUI conviction will not exceed nine months unless the blood alcohol concentration or breath result was higher than .15, in which one year of jail sentence is levied. And if the second DUI conviction is within 5 years, the mandatory imprisonment for at least ten days is required, which is the 48 hours must be consecutive.
Vehicle Impoundment
Vehicle impoundment is required for second DUI conviction within five years of the prior DUI for thirty days which will not occur concurrently with the jail time. If the second DUI conviction occurred outside five years of DUI probation, a ten day of vehicle impoundment is required. Additionally, the judge may dismiss the order of vehicle impoundment owned by the defendant if the vehicle is the only transport vehicle of the other employees of the business.

If your second DUI offense occurred within five years of prior conviction, you will receive at least five years of license revocation. You can apply for the hardship license until you finished serving at least twelve months of the hard suspension. During this period, you cannot drive any vehicle.
Before the license revocation period expires, you can apply for a hardship license at the Florida Administrative Reviews Office in your county after you have completed the treatment and DUI school. And if you want to wait until your period of revocation expires, then you still need to show your proof of completion or enrollment in treatment and DUI school.
