At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney fights all traffic infractions in Florida, including criminal ones. And while driving drunk is an easy way to get arrested, the following three traffic violations could also land you in jail.

 1. Driving with an Expired Tag or Registration

In Florida, you must renew your vehicle registration every year or risk getting a fine.

But if your tag has been expired for more than six months, you are committing a crime punishable by up to 60 days in jail according to Florida Statute 320.07.

2. An Unlawful Tag Transfer

So you recently purchased a new car and decide to attach your old tag to your new car. Not so fast!  Under Florida Statutes 320.261, doing so is a crime punishable by up to 60 days in jail.

If you have a new car, it must have its own registration and tag. For information on buying a car in Florida, click here.

3. Driving with a Suspended License

Under Florida Statute 322.34, driving with a suspended license is a crime punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.

And while no one should drive with a suspended driver’s license, most suspensions happen accidentally. For example:

  • an outstanding or unpaid traffic ticket
  • a missed court date
  • not having insurance

If your license is suspended, call our traffic ticket attorney at (305) 775-3720 for help.
