Information
on Florida driving law and Florida traffic
laws...
Every driver who gets a license must
drive safely to keep it. If you violate
Florida traffic laws or become an unsafe
driver, your license can be taken away. It
can be suspended, revoked, or canceled.
In accordance with Florida driving law, your
license can be suspended if you:
Make a fraudulent driver license application.
Are not able to drive safely.
Allow your license to be used for a purpose that is against the law.
Are convicted of a violation of Florida driving law in a traffic court
and the court orders that your license be
suspended.
Misuse a restricted license.
Earn a certain number of points for traffic offenses on the point
system.
Break a traffic law and fail to pay your fine or appear in court as
directed.
In accordance with Florida traffic laws, your license must be revoked
if you are found guilty of, or department
records show:
A felony in which a motor vehicle is used.
Not stopping to give help when the vehicle you are driving is involved
in a crash causing personal injury.
Lying about the ownership or operation of motor vehicles.
Three cases of reckless driving within one year. Forfeiting bail and
not going to court to avoid being convicted of
reckless driving counts the same as a
conviction.
Three major Florida traffic law offenses or 15 offenses for which you
receive points within a 5-year period.
Vision worse than the standard minimum requirements.
A court may also order that your license be revoked for certain other
violations of Florida driving law.
Under Florida traffic laws, your license will be revoked for at least
three years if you take the life of someone
because of reckless driving.
