3 Reasons for a Suspended License in Florida

At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney has helped thousands of Florida drivers reinstate their suspended license. And while there are many reasons for a suspension, here are the top three:

3. Suspended License for Excessive Points

In Florida, traffic tickets carry points. So every time you get a traffic ticket, you may end up with points on your driving record.

If you get too many points, your license will be suspended for the following length of time:

  • 12 points within 12 months: 30-days
  • 18 points within 18 months: 3-months
  • 24 points within 36 months: one-year

2. Suspended License for an Outstanding Traffic Ticket

If you are issued a traffic ticket, you have 30 days to respond. If you fail to do so, the court will order a suspension of your license. These suspensions are called “D6 Suspensions.”

However, not all traffic tickets are issued in person. Some tickets are mailed, such as red light camera tickets. So you may not even know that you have an outstanding traffic ticket unless you check the status of your driver’s license.

3. “Financial Responsibility” Suspensions

Lastly, your license can be suspended for failing to comply with a financial obligation. For example:  

  • Not paying court costs
  • Not having car insurance
  • No paying a criminal or civil judgment, such as child support.
