After 30 days, but no more than 75 days from the issue date of the citation,
you may pay a civil penalty, ranging from $155.50 to $176.50 (plus the unpaid toll amount), depending on
the county where the incident occurred. By selecting this option, POINTS WILL BE ASSESSED
on your driver's license record. Make the check or money order payable
to the Clerk of County Court and mail to the Court address indicated on the citation.
You must also sign and date the citation and include it with your payment.
If you do not comply by the "Must Comply Date" on the citation, your
driver's license will be suspended and you will not be able to renew your
vehicle registration.
-
Request a court hearing to plead “not
guilty.”
To request a court hearing date check the “Not Guilty” box. If within 75 days
from the issue date of the citation, sign, date, and send this original citation directly
to the FDOT address located in option C of the citation. If you request a hearing and the
County Judge/Traffic Hearing Officer determines that you have committed the offense, the
County Judge/Traffic Hearing Officer may impose a penalty not to exceed $500.00 and points
will be assessed as applicable. If the County Judge/Traffic Hearing Officer determines that
no infraction has been committed, no cost or penalties shall be imposed.
