About Florida traffic laws
Florida's DHSMV runs a tiered suspension system, and the state's high traffic volume means county courts from Miami-Dade to Hillsborough process millions of citations a year. Electing the 'withhold of adjudication' or traffic school can sometimes keep points off — but eligibility is limited.
How points & your license work in Florida
Florida adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Speeding is 3–4 points (more for 15+ over), and 12 points in 12 months means a 30-day suspension, 18 in 18 months a 3-month suspension, and 24 in 36 months a one-year suspension. The Florida FLHSMV (DHSMV) suspension trigger of 12 points in 12 months means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
