Gulf Traffic School
Gulf County Driving
School
If you're a resident of Port St. Joe, or Wewahitchka,
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 received a traffic ticket in Gulf County, within 30 days after the issue date, you
need to pay the traffic ticket fine, and notify the Gulf County Clerk of Court that you want to elect traffic school. 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.
