Stop Sign Violations in Miami

Ticketed for running a stop sign?

No matter how good of a driver you are, everybody makes mistakes on occasion. Whether you were driving in an unfamiliar area and missed a stop sign until it was too late, or if you got caught making a "California rolling stop" in an unpopulated area, a stop sign violation can tack enough points on your record to receive a suspended license or send your insurance premiums through the roof.

Florida Penalties for a Stop Sign Violation

If you are ticketed for running a stop sign in Florida, you face the following penalties:

  • 3 points on your driving record
  • Civil traffic fee of $179

Once you receive a ticket, you have 30 days to pay the ticket (which means you are admitting guilt and the points WILL be added to your driving record), attend driver improvement school, or go to court to contest the ticket.

Keep in mind that in Florida, once you accumulate 12 points within 12 months, your driver's license will be suspended for 30 days. If you accumulate 18 points in an 18 month period, your license will be suspended for 3 months, and if you accumulate 24 points in a 36 month period, your license will be suspended for one year.
