Mandatory Infractions For Florida Drivers

Florida Traffic Ticket Attorneys and Lawyers


You may have received a violation that requires a Mandatory court appearance. Mandatory court does not mean mandatory trial. Over the last several years the Florida legislature has created a number of laws that prohibit your ability to elect traffic school. If you are alleged to have been speeding 30+ over the speed limit, involved in an accident where there is serious bodily injury or a fatality, or you were traveling with an uncovered/unsecured load, then you will have a mandatory court date within several months of your violation. In most cases the Clerk’s office will send you a notice of court hearing once they set a date for you in their system. The Florida Traffic Court Rules allow your attorney to appear for you in traffic court. So if you received a violation which required a mandatory court appearance then call our office so we can discuss the specific facts of your case.

In 2008, the Florida legislature passed an additional bill requiring a mandatory court appearance and hefty fines for motorists chaged with traveling 50+ over the posted speed limit. That law orders a Judge to impose a $1000 fine on a first offense, $2500 on a second offense, and a felony charge for the third offense.
