Florida uses a points system to track the violations a driver may have committed. Should a driver receive too many of them, there is the possibility the driver may have their license suspended.
One thing to know about points is that they are not added to the driving record until the driver pays the ticket, which is otherwise an official admission that the driver was indeed guilty of the violation. Should a driver choose to fight the traffic ticket successfully, then no points will be added to the driving record and the ticket received will result in dismissal. However, if the dispute fails, a driver can likely expect to receive points following the completion of any sanctions.
The severity of a traffic violation is not universal when it comes to being added to a driving record. The point values of traffic tickets may vary from three to six points depending on how severe the offense was. Some minor infringements will only add three points, while more serious violations like those that cause injury to others may result in six points added to the license.
