Reader’s Question:
I received a traffic ticket in another state but I have a Florida license. Will this affect my driving record? How about my insurance rate in Coral Springs Florida? Will it go up?

Yes, it will affect your driving record. Your traffic information will be sent to Florida and will be added to your record. Thus, you will be receiving points. But this depends though if said ticket is a point-accessible violation as per Florida Statute 322.27(3). Enrolling in a driving school to remove points from your record is not an option though. This is because Florida State Law does not allow any driving school or program to remove points for a ticket that was received from another state. Also, remember to pay your ticket or else your license will be suspended.
And going back to your second question, will it increase your insurance rate? That depends on your insurance company. Usually, if it’s your first minor ticket it will not affect your rate but succeeding tickets would only give you sky rocketed premium.
Ask your insurance agents in Coral Springs, FL to find more about how traffic tickets will affect your rates. Check with the websites for additional information for insurance rates in your area.
