Monroe Traffic School
Monroe County Driving School 

If you're a resident of Islamorada, Key Largo, Key West, Marathon, or North Key Largo Beach, 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.

You may elect defensive driving school on any non-mandatory case that has points assessed. These are typically your moving violations such as, speeding, running a red light, fail to maintain a single lane, child restraint.

If you elect the defensive driving school option, adjudication is withheld, the base fine is reduced by 18%, and D.H.S.M.V. will not assess points against your driving record.

To elect this option, you must fill out this Traffic School Affidavit and pay the reduced fine amount within 30 calendar days of the date the officer issued the citation.

You must attend a defensive driving course in the State of Florida. Courses offered in other states are not acceptable. Once you have completed the school, you must return the school completion certificate to the Clerk's office within 90 days from the date you paid the school election fine.

Once you elect traffic school you cannot change your mind, and decide to just pay the civil fine without doing the traffic school.

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.
