Moving Violations

Speeding tickets are considered civil infractions. Civil traffic infractions are non-criminal violations that are not punishable by jail. Generally, these violations are disposed of by completing a defensive driving course through a Florida approved traffic school like Improv or by paying the required fine. A court appearance for typical civil traffic infractions is not required; however, an infraction that involves an accident responsible for causing serious bodily injury to another, abandoning a child under the age of six in a vehicle or driving more than 30 mph over the posted speed limit could require a court appearance. In traffic court, you do not have the right to receive a court-appointed attorney or have the right to a jury trial.

Options Available for a Traffic Citation

If you are charged with a moving violation and it is payable, your fee will be listed on the yellow copy you received from the police officer on the day of your violation. You are given 30 calendar days from the date on your ticket to choose one of the following options:
      1. Entering a Plea of Not Guilty and Attending Court
      2. Paying the Fine
      3. Choosing to Complete a Driver Improvement Course through a Florida traffic school Like Improv
