Getting a traffic ticket for speeding shouldn’t surprise you, but here are three traffic tickets you can avoid in Florida:
1. Expired Tags
In Florida, driving with an expired tag is a serious traffic offense. If your tag expired within the last six months, you will be issued a traffic ticket. However, if your tag expired more than six months ago, you may be facing arrest and criminal charges.
Avoid a ticket. Look at the expiration date on your license plate. Is it expired? Renew it online. However, if you have already been issued a ticket, call our traffic ticket attorney at (305) 775-3720 for assistance.
2. Driving With a Suspended License
While there is no reason you should knowingly drive on a suspended license, your license may be suspended without your knowledge. This often happens with red light camera tickets or after a move if you fail to change the address on your license and miss an important notice.
Fortunately, it’s easy to avoid getting a citation for driving with a suspended license. If you recently moved, update your address online. If you want to check for outstanding traffic tickets, call our traffic lawyer at (305) 775-3720 for a free consultation.
3. Improper or Unsafe Equipment
Driving a car with broken break lights or turn signals is not only dangerous, but an easy way to get cited. So is having window tints that are too dark.
Luckily, most “equipment” related infractions are easy to avoid. Do a quick inspection of your car before hitting the road. As for those tints, take your car to a local window tinting shop to make sure they are legal.
Hopefully these traffic tickets you can avoid, but if you still get cited, contact us for help!
