It
doesn’t matter whether your vehicle was in motion or whether it
was standing still, if you get collared for a traffic violation
in Florida that could result in points being assessed to your
driving record, your smartest move would be to enroll in a
Florida traffic school class.
The
only exceptions to this option for penance are those who hold a
commercial class driver license or for those traffic violations
that are considered “criminal”.
For
pretty much everyone else, going to a Florida traffic school to
have your record cleared, or in DMV-speak; your “adjudication
withheld” can reap a slew of tangible rewards.
You
will avoid those pesky points being assessed against your
driver’s license, the fine that you have to pay to the courts
may be cut by up to 18% and your insurance company can’t mess
with your head when it’s time to renew or your wallet when it’s
time to pay.
Of
course, staying in the good graces of your insurance company
would require that you do not get a second infraction within 18
months, or a third within 36 months.
Oh,
and if you ever get a citation for exceeding the speed limit by
more than 15 mph, all bets are off.
So
you’ve decided to come clean and attend traffic school. You’ll
be asked to sign an affidavit of your intentions to attend
Florida traffic school, have it notarized and then return the
document to the court clerk within 30 days.
The
courts will then generously give you 60-90 days to participate
in a state-approved Florida traffic school to set things
straight.
And
don’t think that at some point you can change your mind. Once
you submit the affidavit to the court, you must participate in a
Florida traffic school; no ifs, ands or buts.
Unless you don’t mind that your lack of follow-through will be
regarded as a “guilty” plea.
Then
you keep those dreaded points on your driving record, AND you
will have to pay the amount they discounted off your bail
because you said you were going to attend traffic school, AND
they will tag on an additional $16.00 penalty just for kicks and
giggles.
You
are allowed to attend a Florida traffic school once in any 12
month period, and no more than 5 times in a 10 year period.
The procedures and
the fees tend to vary some from court to court, so always make
sure you get the skinny on your court’s requirements before you
proceed to begin your adventure with a Florida traffic school.
