There is something known as the Interstate Driver's License Compact, which is an agreement between the 45 participating states to share information regarding certain types of convictions, including Drunk Driving (DUI and DWI) convictions.
Because of the Compact, if a resident of one state gets convicted of a drunk driving offense (DUI and DWI) in another state, the driver's home state will be advised. The type of action that the driver's home state will take will vary from state to state.
You should contact a DUI/DWI attorney in West Pam Beach, Florida as soon as possible. The attorney will be the best person to advise you of potential outcomes and your options.
