\"going<\/p>\n

At TicketFit<\/a>, speeding tickets are the most common traffic violation our attorney fights. Yet, not all speeding tickets in Florida are the same.<\/p>\n

Although all speeding tickets carry penalties, going 30 miles or more over the speed limit has severe consequences.<\/p>\n

Mandatory Court Appearance<\/h2>\n

If you are caught going\u00a030 miles or over in Florida, you don\u2019t have the option of paying a fine\u00a0or attending to traffic school. A court date will\u00a0be scheduled and you will be required to attend.<\/p>\n

Because a court appearance is required, you must<\/em> attend the hearing or hire a speeding ticket attorney<\/a>\u00a0to attend for you. Otherwise, the judge may find you guilty and\/or suspend your license for failure to appear.<\/p>\n

Expensive Fines<\/h2>\n

Speeding ticket fines are expensive, ranging anywhere from $200 to $500. However, if you are found guilty of driving 30 miles or more over the speed limit, your fine may reach up to $1,000. In addition, some judges may suspend your driver’s license.<\/p>\n

Points on Your Driving Record<\/h2>\n

Florida works on a point system and every time you are cited for speeding points are added to your driving record.<\/p>\n

While a speeding ticket for 29 miles or less over the limit carries with it 3 points, speeding 30 miles over the speed limit can cause 4 points on your license, and 6 points if it resulted in a crash.<\/p>\n

Excessive points lead to the suspension of your driver’s license. Points are also used by your insurance company to raise your rates or deny coverage.<\/p>\n
