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

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.

No matter your situation, you do have options. The last thing you want
to do is pay your ticket and accept the points and fees, however, you
cannot ignore your ticket because doing so would lead to a suspended license.
By being proactive, your chances of avoiding points and fees are far greater.
