1Per curiam

We have for review McBride v. State, 816 So.2d 656 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), which *338expressly and directly conflicts with this Court’s decision in Cardenas v. State, 867 So.2d 384 (Fla.2004) on the harmless error analysis to be applied in DUI cases in which an instruction on the statutory presumption of impairment is given in error. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. We accept this case for review, quash the decision of the Second District Court of Appeal, and remand for reconsideration in light of our opinion in Cardenas.

It is so ordered.
