florida Driver license points and suspensions (305) 598-4490
In Florida, it is essential to try to avoid points on your drivers license. If a police officer charges you for committing a non-criminal traffic infraction, you will be issued a civil traffic citation. Moving and non-moving violations are the two types of traffic infractions. Your driver license may be assessed points for moving violations or some criminal traffic citations. Points remain on your driver record for at least five years. If you accumulate too many points on your driver's license, you could face a license suspension and other negative consequences, such as an increase in auto insurance premiums. If you receive a traffic ticket, do not gamble with your future by going it alone. Traffic attorneys know the law and familiar with Court proceedings. A Florida traffic ticket lawyer may be able to help you avoid points on your driver's license by contesting the citation. An experienced traffic ticket lawyer may even be able to help you remove points that you already have on your driver's license. Look below to find out how many points that you may earn on your driver's license for common Florida traffic law violations. Also, find the period length of suspension based on the amount of points accumulated. For a complete list of all traffic violations in Florida with their corresponding point values, click here.
