1. Have you received a $158 Notice of Violation?
Within 30 days after you allegedly run a red light at a “photo enforced” intersection, you will receive a “Notice of Violation” in the mail. This notice is not a traffic ticket, so paying it will not affect your insurance nor result in points on your driving record.
As such, you should consider the following when deciding to fight it:
If the video/photos show your car crossing the intersection or making a left turn on red, you should pay the $158 fine.
But if you were making a right turn on red, you should consider fighting it, as the chances of winning in court are high.
To contest a Notice of Violation you disregard the due date on the notice and wait for the “Uniform Traffic Citation” (see next section).
2. Have you received a $277 red light camera ticket?
If you don’t pay the Notice of Violation by the due date, you will receive a $277 red light camera ticket (known as a “Florida Uniform Traffic Citation”) via certified mail within 60 days.
Upon receipt of a red light camera ticket, you have 30 days to answer it. At this point, there is no going back. You can no longer pay the first Notice of Violation and we advise you not pay the fine, as doing so will result in a conviction on your driving record.
Fortunately, an experienced traffic ticket attorney, such as TicketFit, can help. Our traffic ticket attorney will request a court date and fight for that dismissal. Call us now at (305) 775-3720 to get started.
3. Suspended license due to an outstanding red light camera ticket?
If you forget to answer your red light camera ticket within 30 days, your license will be suspended. If that’s not enough, your $277 ticket will go to collections where it will DOUBLE in price!
Because driving with a suspended license is a crime, it is important you contact our traffic ticket attorney at (305) 775-3720 for help! In most cases we can lift your suspension within 24 to 48 hours.
