Back on Track DUI Program
The Back on Track Program in Miami-Dade County is supervised by Court Options to allow some first time offenders to have their DUI charged reduced to a Withhold of Adjudication for Reckless Driving, helping first-time offenders avoid a Miami DUI conviction. It is offered by the Office of the State Attorney.
