Florida lawmakers are trying to find a way to deal with increased budget cuts, and once again it may occur on the backs of motorists. According to a recent article Speeding Tickets to Get Pricier in Florida, the Fort Myers News Press is reporting that all ticket prices will increase $10.00 and speeding tickets will increase by $25.00 if the new law is passed. Aside from rising ticket prices, the legislature is contemplating the elimination of the eighteen percent reduction for traffic school. The current law under Florida Statute 318.14 allows for a motorist to elect traffic school through the clerk of court to receive an eighteen percent reduction on the cost of the citation. If the law passes the legislature will still allow drivers to receive no points on their driving record, but without an eighteen percent reduction. Commercial drivers are not entitled to elect traffic school because of a law change several years ago, so this proposed law change will not effect drivers with an A, B, or C license, except for the increased fines. In the State of Florida most moving violation are three or four points, depending on the situation. Points remain on your driving abstract for three years, and can cause a suspended license and/or increased insurance rates.
