Driving in Miami can at times prove difficult, particularly due to multiple different toll systems available. The SunPass, MDX, and Toll-By-Plate sometimes confuse drivers. However, with proper understanding, they can create ease in your daily commuting. At Hochman & Goldin, P.A., both understanding these systems and mitigating issues with them form a key part of our expertise as specialized Miami traffic ticket lawyers.
Consider SunPass, a prepaid toll program where drivers purchase transponders that automatically deduct payment from a prearranged account. This electronic system is hassle-free and speeds up the toll process significantly.
Yet, still issues may arise. A simple system error, basic mix-up, or gaps in understanding can swiftly lead to toll citations. Similarly, the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) operates five main expressways in Miami, each with its own tolls. The Toll-By-Plate system, meanwhile, snaps a photo of your vehicle’s license plate as it passes through a toll booth, and the registered owner receives a toll statement in the mail. Any misunderstanding or error can leave a costly fine.
Fines in Miami-Dade county can go as high as $149, not to mention the potential negative impact on your driving record. And this arises apart from the original unpaid tolls. Hence, traffic violation notices from SunPass, MDX, or Toll-By-Plate need immediate attention and careful handling to avoid more significant trouble.
As such, a competent Miami traffic ticket lawyer is critical to navigate these complications. Our team at Hochman & Goldin, P.A. provides expert and precise legal advice in these circumstances. We carefully scrutinize each case, verify the accuracy of charges, pinpoint any possible mistakes and guide clients on how to respond and contest these charges, if necessary.
Despite their difficulties, Miami’s drivers value the simplicity that SunPass, MDX, and Toll-By-Plate bring to daily commuting. But the occasional unfair traffic charges these systems impose can feel overwhelming. At such times, you need a reliable partner. Our professional and respected legal team at Hochman & Goldin, P.A. is available to help navigate such complexities with ease and professionalism.
