Traffic School Guidelines and Requirements

If you have an out-of-state driver’s license, please contact your state's DMV to see if you are eligible to take the driving school option if applicable before electing this option.

If you hold a Commercial Driver’s license (CDL), you are not eligible for this option

Florida law allows this election once in a 12-month period and no more than five times in your lifetime

You must indicate the election of this option in writing at the time of payment.

• To determine if you are eligible to elect this option, visit the Florida DHSMV's Driver License Check.

If you qualify for and successfully complete traffic school, adjudication will be withheld on your driving record and points will not be assessed.

When electing this option and upon payment of the traffic penalty, your case will be extended for 90 calendar days. Within the 90-day period, you must submit the traffic school completion certificate to the Clerk’s Office online, by mail or in person. 

Failure to provide the Clerk’s office with a traffic school completion certificate may result in additional penalties such as fees, a disposition of guilty, points assessed against your license and suspension of your license.

Certain Traffic School Requirements

• Completion of a driver improvement course is required if you are cited by a law enforcement officer for running a red light or passing a stopped school bus, even if you do not make this election.

• The traffic school election for child restraint charges stipulates that you have never received a child restraint ticket in the past. At the time of payment, the Child Passenger Restraint Affidavit must be signed, notarized and filed with the Clerk. You may only elect this option in person or by mail.
