What to do when you get a traffic ticket

After an officer hands you a speeding ticket or any ticket in Florida it is important to know what to do next. The most important things to remember after receiving a traffic ticket in Florida are:

Uniform Traffic Citation, Traffic Ticket

Florida Traffic Ticket

  1. You have 30 days to act,
    • If you do not act within 30 days your license may be suspended and you will have to pay more 
    • Mark 30 days down in your calendar so you do not forget
  2. Write down what happened,
    • The more information you write down the better
    • Where was the police officer, was it raining, what was the traffic like, etc.
    • You may not need to recall what happened for 60 days, by that time memory fades so write it down right away
  3. Decide how you want to act, and 
    • Pay the ticket- receive points, be convicted; (THIS IS NOT ALWAYS YOUR BEST OPTION!)
    • Elect traffic school if you are eligible- pay school costs and certificate fees, spend 4 hours in school, & pay fine, or
    • Fight the ticket- You may do this on your own, or if you do not want to spend hours waiting in court, hire a Jacksonville Traffic Ticket Attorney to fight for you!
  4. Act within 30 days!
    • DO NOT FORGET TO ACT WITHIN 30 DAYS
    • If you wait longer than 30 days your license may be suspended
    • If you wait longer than 30 days you will have to pay more
    • If it is over 30 days we can still help but the clock is ticking. The longer you wait the worse it will be.
