Do I have to do field sobriety exercises in Florida?

Two different decisions, two different sets of rules, and they get confused constantly.

The roadside exercises — the walk-and-turn, the one-leg stand, the eye test — aren't covered by Florida's implied consent law. You're not required to perform them, and declining doesn't carry an automatic suspension.

The breath test at the station is a different matter. That one falls under implied consent, and since Trenton's Law took effect on October 1, 2025, a first refusal is a second-degree misdemeanor on top of a one-year license suspension. A second or subsequent refusal is a first-degree misdemeanor with an eighteen-month suspension.

So the honest framing isn't "you can refuse everything." It's that the roadside exercises and the breath test carry very different price tags, and most people are never told they're separate decisions at all.
