I saw them on the internet...have you or anyone you know used them?
The entire state is a speed trap with the way the speed constantly go up and down (AAA even has deemed two Florida towns as official speed traps)...
I never got a speeding ticket until I moved to Florida. But I also had FL plates at the time.
I'd 100% agree with this...in-fact Florida, at least to me, has a very small police presence on the interstates (at least 95 &4) when compared to most Atlantic states (except maybe SC)...I never got a speeding ticket until I moved to Florida. But I also had FL plates at the time.
My husband has gotten both of his tickets in other states, with out of state plates both times. My neighbor got his first speeding ticket in another state. So did my daughter. So FL is not the only state that seems to target out of state cars.
Sometimes you just get caught.
Yea, I'm not eligible for the classes since I haven't changed my driver's license over to FL yet...the only guy I actually could get in hold with of anything other than email said $600 so I'm gonna try the ticket clinic and see what they say...I just don't want the points so my insurance doesn't go up
They advertise all the time. They go to court in different counties. They advertise for non criminal traffic tickets $69. If you haven't had a ticket in at least two years , they promise no school and no points. Perhaps they charge more for out of state drivers?
I've driven in snow and ice (front wheel, manual transmission, no snow tires), but it's been so long that I wouldn't be able to do well now. But did better than most the last time we had snow in NE Florida - I got home safely, and then stayed there until it had all melted.
When it monsoons I usually put the hazards on and reduce my speed to that of a lane with traffic in it so I have lights to follow and know when to stop or what not. I would never pull over unless it was my only option and being from New Jersey I'm used to always having my headlights on as it was a law that wipers on, lights on (I'm kind of keen on daytime running lights due to the visibility increase they provide and when you learn to ride a motorcycle they teach you to always have your headlights on for this reason)...There are also areas where the limit is 70 - but many think that means 80.
The blinding rainstorms are an issue - a few drivers pull over (but they often become a hazard) most slow down to a more reasonable speed and put on their headlights (per the law) but there are always a few who either slow down to a crawl, or continue at the speed limit - or above. There are always some who don't put on their headlights (which means you can't see their tail lights) so they're a surprise when you get up to them.
I dunno...I'd rather be hot as can be than have to sleep in sub-freezing temps. There comes a point where your bones are cold and it's impossible to warm up quickly. Heck, it's part of the reason we left Jersey and never plan to turn back...
My wife got rear ended in Tampa (literally my first week living here, but in the other driver's defense my wife is new to the whole u-turning in the middle thing)...after talking to FHP during the 2 hour fiasco that ensued they pretty much just told me to go with the ticket clinic...
