Once you have received a traffic citation, you have thirty (30) days to make an election. If you are electing traffic
school, you must first pay the reduced fine (see the table below for the reduced fine amount). After you have paid the
citation, you will need to follow these few steps:
- Print out, Sign and have notarized the Traffic School Affidavit which is under the "forms" link. Send
a copy of your citation along with the notarized affidavit to the Clerk's Office within the first 30 days.
- Once you have completed step one, you have ninety (90) days to complete a Florida Certified, Basic 4 hour, Driver
Improvement Course. You may take the course online (Search: Florida Traffic Schools) or in person (telephone book-yellow pages
under Driving Instructions, Driving Schools, or Traffic School).
- Upon completion of the course, you will receive a Traffic School Certificate. You must send proof of completion
to the Clerk of Court within the allowed ninety (90) days. Failure to do so will result in your license being suspended
and points will be assessed to your license.
