Defending Traffic Light Violations in Florida

Traffic Light Tickets and Penalties

Running traffic lights is common in Florida, and drivers across the sunshine state are routinely ticketed for traffic light violations of this and other kinds. Despite the seeming clarity of traffic laws in Florida as they pertain to traffic lights and other traffic control devices like walk signals and school crossings, there are always situations that may justify why the violation had to occur. Although avoiding motor vehicle or pedestrian accidents and other obstacles may seem justifiable, the court may not always see it that way.

The penalties associated with traffic light violations in Florida can be costly, even if the violation itself cannot be considered serious in comparison to other traffic violations. In many cases, the amount of the citation is only half the ultimate total when administrative costs, surcharges or other mandatory court fees are added. The higher these costs go, the more sense it may make to explore your options with a Florida traffic ticket attorney who knows how to fight back and get the most favorable results in court.

Does Running a Red Light Affect Insurance?

Running a red light may affect your insurance depending on the insurance company. If you have multiple violations on your track record and then get a red light violation, then it’s likely your car insurance prices will increase. Drivers with an otherwise clean record, however, might not face higher insurance prices. If you are caught by a red light camera, then you might just pay a small fee, for example, with no points on your driver’s license. At the end of the day, your insurance rates going up after a red light violation, largely depends on your insurance company.
