Suspended Driver's License in Gainesville, Florida

Whether you're a student or just a resident of Gainesville, Florida, a suspended driver's license is never fun. This is what you will deal with if you continually break the traffic rules for the area. It only takes 2 to 4 tickets to end up with a 30-day suspension of your license. If you get:

  • 12 points in 12 months, your license will be suspended for 30 days
  • 18 points in 18 months, your license will be suspended for 90 days
  • 24 points in 36 months, your license will be suspended for 365 days

Points are assigned to each type of traffic violation and range from 3 to 6, depending on the severity. For example, if you cause an accident while speeding, you will get a ticket with 6 points going on your license. However, if you just get caught speeding and you were less than 15 mph over the posted speed limit, the ticket only comes with 3 points.

A suspended license means paying additional reinstatement fees, along with figuring out how to get around until your license is reinstated. If you try to drive and you get caught, you may face as much as a $500 fine and 90 days in jail.

Keep Points off Your Driver's License with Traffic School

If you just received your first traffic ticket in Gainesville or you've never taken the basic driver improvement course, you may be able to keep points off your license with traffic school. Even if you've had a ticket in the past and used traffic school, you may still be able to use it again.

The process is very easy. Start by pleading no contest or guilty to the ticket and paying it. Then, tell the clerk of the court you will enroll in traffic school. You can enroll right online and take the course from the comfort of your home. Once completed, you will need to take the certificate of completion to the clerk of the court. That's it!

By using traffic school in Gainesville to avoid points, you will also keep your insurance rates from going up.
