Desoto Traffic School

Desoto County Driving School

If you're a resident of Arcadia, have a Florida Driver's license, or you received a traffic ticket in Florida, then traffic school may be for you! By electing traffic school you may be able to avoid points on your driver's license, and maintain your clean driving record.

If you are interested in electing traffic school you must download this form, and return it to the Clerk of Court within 30 days of the issuance of your citation. Failure to pay the fine and attend traffic school will result in suspension of your driver’s license and the assessment of late fees.

There are many Driver School Course Providers in Florida. You can find a traffic school online, or you can enroll in a Florida DHSMV and Court approved online traffic school course with The Emilio School, Inc.
