Florida law includes a traffic violation point system that can quickly turn a handful of minor traffic offenses into a suspended or revoked driver's license. If you are a resident of Daytona Beach or the surrounding areas and have received a traffic citation, you have options. We can help you protect your insurance premiums and save your license. Regardless of whether the alleged traffic offense occurs in Florida or in another state, you are subject to the same number of points upon conviction. Even a simple speeding ticket will end up costing you more than the amount on the ticket.
