<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<\/h1>\n\n\n\nWhen you receive a traffic ticket in Florida you have 30 days to answer it. If you fail to do so, you incur late fees and your license gets suspended. After 90 days, the traffic ticket goes to a collection agency where the fines double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while most people believe there is nothing that you can do but pay the traffic ticket. Paying a traffic ticket in Florida is an admission of guilt, which can have serious consequences on your driving record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So before you call the collection agency and pay those outrageous fees, here are three steps you can take to fix your traffic ticket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, locate the County in which your traffic infraction occurred. This information will be on the upper left hand corner of your ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you locate the County, call the Clerk of Court of that County and ask to speak with someone in the Traffic Department. For your convenience, here are some of those telephone numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless a traffic attorney<\/a> prepared your motion, you can expect an answer from the court within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your motion gets granted, the traffic ticket gets removed from collections and all the late fees are waived. At that point, you will be able to reinstate your driver’s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your motion gets denied, or you prefer the help of our traffic ticket attorney from the start, call us now at (305) 775-3720 or send us an email<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At TicketFit, our traffic ticket attorney has removed thousands of tickets from collections.
