SunPass Violations
SunPass and toll violations can have severe and costly penalties under Florida state statute. SunPass violations can quickly add up, not only costing you a great deal in fines, but resulting in points on your license and possible license suspension. The Law Office of Eduardo Meire, P.A. helps drivers in Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and Fort Lauderdale to understand the penalties they face for SunPass violations and how to avoid them.
Fines
The minimum fine you will be charged for a SunPass violation is $100, with other charges added on depending on the circumstances and the county in which the violation took place. These fines are a great deal more expensive than the toll itself, and in the event of multiple violations can grow very expensive very quickly. This amount does not include court charges or other related expenses that may occur as a result.
Points
A SunPass violation is considered a moving violation under Florida law, and therefore may result in points being applied to your license. A single violation can result in up to three points, which are difficult and costly to get rid of. If you have too many points applied to your license, you run the risk of your license being suspended and being unable to drive for anywhere from a few months to several years.
The serious penalties for SunPass violations make it essential that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible if you have received a uniform traffic citation for one. The Law Office of Eduardo Meire can help investigate the charge against you and will fight hard to have the penalties reduced or dismissed entirely. By simply paying a fine that has been brought against you for a violation, you in effect plead guilty to the charge, and you will still receive points. Our traffic violations attorneys can help you fight the charges and lessen the penalties against you.
