  • Melbourne is served by many major roads including US 1, US Route 192, Interstate 95, State Road A1A, State Road 507 and many more.
  • The Florida stretch of I-95 is considered the most dangerous highway in the country.

Out of these violations over 13,000 were given out for speeding with another 2,557 for careless driving and over 1,500 for running a red light or stop sign. Only about 10% of the total violations handed out were dismissed by a judge. The chances of getting out of a ticket in Brevard County are very slim.

Driver’s License Suspensions in Melbourne, Florida

After too many traffic tickets, drivers in Melbourne may face a license suspension. This happens when you accumulate 12 points on your clients in a year, 18 points in 18 months or 24 points in three years. These carry a 30-day, 90-day and 365-day suspension with them, respectively.

Each traffic ticket comes with an assigned number of points and the worse the violation, the higher the number. Points include:

  • Speeding - 3 or 4 points, depending on your speed
  • Causing an accident while speeding - 6 points
  • Leaving the scene of an accident with more than $50 worth of damage - 6 points
  • Driving after curfew - 3 points
  • Passing a school bus while it's stopped - 4 points
  • Other violations - 3 or 4 points

It's not hard to rack up enough points to have your license suspended if you become a habitual offender. In addition, it's possible to be ticketed for more than one violation within the same stop.

If you do end up with a suspended license, you will have to pay a reinstatement fee. You will also face up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine if you get caught driving with a suspended license.

Traffic School in Melbourne, Florida

You have the option of using traffic school to keep the points from one ticket from going on your license. You will need to enroll and take the basic driver improvement course, which you can do directly from your own home online. The steps for using traffic school online include:

  • Plead guilty or no contest to your ticket and pay the fine
  • Tell the clerk of the court you wish to enroll in traffic school
  • Enroll online for the basic driver improvement course
  • Take the course at your convenience and complete it
  • Turn in your certificate of completion to the clerk of the court

If you follow these steps you will keep points off your license and your insurance rates won't skyrocket.

Traffic School Eligibility in Brevard County, Florida

When you decide to use traffic school, you do need to check your eligibility with the clerk of the court. The State of Florida allows all drivers to use the basic driver improvement course to avoid points 5 times in their lifetime. However, you can only take the course once every 12 months to avoid points on your license. If you've never taken the course or you haven't taken it 5 times or in the last 12 months, you're probably eligible. You can check with the clerk of the court just to be sure.

Brevard County Clerk of the Court

No matter which branch of law enforcement issued the ticket, the Brevard County Clerk of the Court will handle payments and information about your ticket. You will also need to inform the clerk of the court if you plan on enrolling in online traffic school. Find out more about the Brevard County Clerk of the Court by visiting their website.
