What People Ask About Traffic School

How much time do you have to take traffic school in Florida?

When you receive a ticket in Florida you have 30 days to pay your fine to the Clerk of Court in the County where you received your ticket. Starting on the date you paid your fine and elected traffic school each county gives you anywhere from 60 days to 120 days to complete your course and give the Clerk of Court a copy of your Traffic School Certificate.

How do I elect traffic school (defensive driving school) in Florida?

Each county clerk has their own procedure. Most Florida Counties have a form called an affidavit you fill out when you pay your traffic ticket to elect traffic school. Be aware that if you pay your fine and do not elect traffic school then you will receive the points for the violation and your case will be closed. You cannot decide to take traffic school in Florida after you have paid the fine.

How do you get points removed from your Florida Driving Record?

In Florida points cannot be removed from your driving record. You avoid the points before they are put on your driving record by electing traffic school when you pay your fine.
