Florida Speeding Ticket Lawyers
Representing Drivers in Tampa, Hollywood, & Other Parts of the Sunshine State
Everyone is in a hurry nowadays, between commuting to and from work, tending to family responsibilities, and more. At times, this rush to get places and get things done can translate to speeding—and a ticket. Florida police are quick to pull over drivers going above posted speed limits, even if just a few miles per hour. According to annual reports, an overwhelming majority of citations that our state’s officers hand out are for speeding.
Have you been stuck with a ticket for going too fast? While paying your fine may seem like the easiest way to resolve the situation, you have better options for your driving record and wallet. At Florida Ticket Firm, we are here to help you explore these options and pursue the one that is right for your situation. We have handled over one million traffic ticket cases; our unparalleled know-how can be your advantage.

The Consequences of a Florida Speeding Ticket
When ticketed for speeding in Florida, you will generally be ordered to pay a fine by a certain date. These fines can be hundreds of dollars depending on how far above the speed limit the officer tracked you as going. While the ticket cost can certainly be steep, the consequences do not end there.
Other impacts of a speeding ticket include:
Points on Your Driver's License
When you are cited for speeding, points will be added to your driver's license. The more serious the infraction is, the more points you will receive. If you accumulate 12 points within a year, your license will be suspended for 30 days. You may face a longer suspension for additional points within 18-month and 36-month periods.
Once you receive a speeding ticket in Florida, the points associated with it will remain on your record for three years. This period is extended for more serious violations.
Increased Insurance Rates
Another consequence of receiving a speeding ticket is increased insurance rates. Insurance companies see a speeding ticket as an indicator of risky driving behavior and may raise your rates accordingly. This increase can last for several years.
Possible License Suspension
Beyond losing your license for having too many points on your record, you can have your license suspended for having more than one excessive speeding ticket. Law enforcement gives out these citations for those going 50 mph or more over the speed limit.
Criminal Penalties
Repeat excessive speeding can become a felony offense. Additionally, when speeding is part of reckless driving or results in serious injuries or another's death, you could face criminal charges, which carry the potential for jail time and fines well above that of a traffic ticket.
