If you're a licensed driver in Florida like I am, then it should come as no surprise that there are lots of drivers who don't follow the rules of the road. In fact, on average a traffic accident occurs every 90-seconds in the Sunshine State. (401,170 in 2021) That doesn't count for all the traffic tickets written to drivers who committed infractions. (2,479,904 statewide and 155,424 in Duval County alone in 2021) While getting a traffic citation can mean paying a heavy fine, it can also cause your auto insurance rates to rise. To keep you from having to find out the hard way just what a traffic ticket can cost you in the long run, I thought I'd take a few minutes to share some thoughts on that subject.
