Orlando Traffic Ticket News That Affects You

Traffic School Limitations have been broadened... Go to Drivers License Check to see if you are eligible for traffic school.

Review the Florida Statutes relating to driving...

We encourage everyone to read through the statutes that regulate driving a vehicle in Florida.  These can be found in Chapter 316 of the Florida Statutes.  What you read may surprise you and will definitely inform you of the current laws.


Cost of a Driving Record Goes Up

August 17, 2010: The cost of a driving record obtained from the Clerk of Court has been raised to $16.25 flat rate.  Before it was $3 for the first page and $1 for each page thereafter.  For the worst driving records this is about a $10 per record increase.

Bill Prohibiting Texting While Driving Dies in Committee

April 30, 2010: The bill that quickly drew life after the allegations that texting while driving was as dangerous as drunk driving finally died in committee.  The bill was so flawed it would have technically prohibited GPS devices and Amber Alert roadside devices.


Speeding 30 MPH Over Limit: Sec. 318.19. Infractions requiring a mandatory hearing

Any person cited for the infractions listed in this section shall not have the provisions of s. 318.14(2), (4), and (9) available to him or her but must appear before the designated official at the time and location of the scheduled hearing:
(1) . . . ; or.
(5) Any infraction [for] exceeding the speed limit by 30 m.p.h. or more.

Driving 30 plus mph over the speed limit cases are taken very seriously by all courts in the Central Florida area. Take at least an 8-hour school and get us the certificate prior to your hearing date.


Loud or Modified Exhaust Tickets §316.293:
This has been on the books a while. The law basically says that We The People cannot modify our vehicles exhaust system. This statute seems impossible to prove from the law enforcement perspective. It is an attempt to quash our imagination and should be fought. Call if you receive one of these draconian citations.


Fifteen moving violations in 5 years can result in your license being revoked/suspended for 5 years (Do Not Just Pay Toll Tickets! Call 407-841-5555). You'll also be labeled as a Habitual Traffic Offender. However, tickets that have been withheld (no points assessed) do not count towards the 15.
