Traffic tickets typically come with fines. Some fines are minimal, and others can be expensive. Along with financial considerations, traffic tickets can also affect your ability to hold a driver’s license. Florida uses a point system to rate drivers’ safety on the roads. Points are assigned to your driver’s license based on the severity of the traffic citation. If you have too many points, your license may be temporarily suspended.
Your auto insurance carrier is also notified every time you are ticketed. This can result in an increase in your monthly premiums or even being dropped by your insurance company.
