Sarasota Traffic School
Sarasota is a great place to live and drive. And the number of drivers is growing all the time. Regardless of where you drive in Sarasota from I75 to Fruitville road or Washington Blvd to Tamiami trail there's plenty of traffic and plenty of law enforcement writing traffic tickets.
If you get a traffic ticket in Sarasota you do have some options to avoid any negative impact on your Florida drivers license and your auto insurance. If you just pay the full fine you will have the points on your license and your insurance could go up. But if you take our Florida DMV approved traffic school course either online or on video you can avoid points and protect you insurance.
You typically have three choices
- Pay the full fine and accept the points on your license. This is not a good idea as your insurance could go sky high and you are racking up points.
- Fight the Ticket in court - If you can prove you are not at fault you might consider this.
- Complete a Florida online traffic school course, get no points, protect your insurance
Traffic School Made Easy
Gone are the days of going down to a motel on a Saturday morning for 4 hours. Now you can complete a traffic school class from home on your schedule. Start when you want, come and go, and clean up your ticket easily.
