Welcome to Florida—Now Take Your Ticket and Pay Up
Different states in the U.S. use different demerit point systems for their drivers. However, infractions committed in one state will usually affect your record in your home state as well. When out-of-state drivers commit an infraction and receive a Florida traffic ticket, they will be subject to Florida law like any resident. This means that to get the points dismissed from your record and prevent them from following you home, you will need to take a Florida DHSMV-approved traffic school course.
Thankfully, you won’t have to drive all the way back to Florida to take your traffic school course. Florida visitors can enroll in any approved online traffic school course and take it from home. The Florida DHSMV will be notified upon your completion and take care of removing the points and/or fines from there. This should update your driving record across the country and ensure you have a clean history wherever you go.
