Florida Traffic Violation Cases & Consequences

Your traffic fine for an infraction will depend on the type of violation involved. You will be pleading guilty by sending in your payment according to the ticket instructions. If you fail to respond or pay the fine within 30 days, you will likely be charged additional fees. You will also have demerit points added to your driving record.

If you accumulate 12 points within a 12-month period, you face a license suspension. Points for traffic violations range from three to six points, depending on the type of violation for which you were ticketed. These points involve moving violations such as speeding, running a red light, improper lane changes, reckless driving, and more.

Fighting Your Traffic Ticket in Melbourne

If you wish to contest your ticket, you can do so by checking the appropriate box on the ticket which will lead to a hearing in traffic court where you can present your case. Arguing your case before a judge should fall to your Melbourne DUI attorney who, as a legal professional, understands the procedure and how best to challenge the evidence against you.

Criminal traffic charges which will need to be handled through the criminal courts include:

• Reckless driving
• Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs
• Fleeing the scene of an accident
• Driving on a suspended or revoked license
• Driving with an expired registration
• Street racing

In the case of traffic infractions, as well as traffic violation criminal charges, you may believe you have little chance of prevailing in court. However, our Melbourne traffic violation attorney can evaluate your situation for potential defense tactics that could be advantageous to your case, resulting in a dismissal, reduced charges, or reduced sentence.
