Why you may not want to choose to just pay the ticket or to go to traffic school
Just paying your ticket:
-
•Is an admission of guilt and results in an adjudication of guilt, which is a conviction and for which the department of motor vehicles may assess points against your license.
-
•May jeopardize your driving privilege. Having a certain number of points assessed against your license within certain periods of time may result in a points suspension or revocation of your driving privilege. Also, having convictions of certain offenses within a certain period of time may also result in the department of motor vehicles labeling you as a habitual traffic offender (HTO) and revoking your driving privilege for being a habitual traffic offender.
-
•May result in increased insurance rates.
-
•Is not an option for certain traffic offenses under Florida law. Also, certain traffic violations require a mandatory court appearance.
-
•May be used against you in another legal proceeding.
If you choose to just pay your ticket, then that is considered an admission of guilt and the disposition of the case includes an adjudication of guilt, which is considered a conviction under Florida law. If you are given an adjudication of guilt for a moving violation, then the department of motor vehicles may assess point against your driver’s license. Accumulating a certain number of points within certain periods of time from each other can result in the suspension of a person’s driving privilege. Likewise, having convictions for certain traffic offenses within a certain time period can result in the department of motor vehicles labeling you as a habitual traffic offender (HTO) and revoking your driver’s license for five (5) years. In addition, insurances companies may use an adjudication of guilt to increase your insurance rates. Furthermore, a guilty plea or an admission of guilt can be used against you in another case. For example, in an accident case, a guilty plea or an admission of guilt by you might be used as evidence against you by the driver of the other car in a personal injury law suit brought by that driver against you.
The law firm looks first for every way to try to get your traffic violation dismissed. If dismissal is not possible, then the law firm looks for every way to avoid an adjudication of guilt, points on your driving record, and other effects on your driver’s license like suspension or revocation or being labeled a habitual traffic offender.
Just choosing to go to driving school:
-
•Is not an option for certain traffic offenses under Florida law. Also, certain traffic violations require a mandatory court appearance.
-
•Is not an option under Florida law for a person who holds a commercial driver’s license.
-
•Is not an option if you have elected to attend traffic school within the preceding 12 months.
-
•Is not an option if you have already made five (5) elections for traffic school.
-
•Does not reduce the financial penalty of your ticket.
-
•You must pay a fee to attend driving school in addition to paying for the ticket.
Under Florida law, you may or may not be eligible to choose to go to driving school for a ticket. It depends upon the charge, how many times before you have chosen the traffic school election, and how much time has passed since the last time of choosing the traffic school election. A person who holds a commercial driver’s license is not eligible for the traffic school election. Also, if you elect to go to traffic school, it is not free; you must pay for it in addition to the costs for the ticket assessed by the clerk of court. You must provide proof of completion of a driving school course approved by the Florida department of motor vehicles within a certain period of time, and if you do not, then your driver’s license may be suspended, points may be assessed against your driver’s license, and additional costs incurred.
The law firm looks first for every way to try to get your traffic violation dismissed. If dismissal is not possible, then the firm looks for every way to avoid your having to go to traffic school.
