If you're a resident of Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay, or Titusville, 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.

The option of attending school does not apply to all traffic infractions.  If you hold a CDL license, you are not eligible to elect driving school.  After September 30, 2006, if you are charged with exceeding the speed limit by 30 mph or more, you are not eligible to elect driving school.  A mandatory court appearance is required.   

Successful completion of driver improvement school will keep violation points from being entered on a driver record.

There are 29 Driver School Course Providers in Florida. Traffic schools are listed in your local telephone directory under "driving instruction" or "traffic schools.
