As the new school year starts, it is more important than ever to comply with all traffic laws. While sometimes they may seem like a nuisance, speed limits and stop signs, are there to keep everyone safe. But we all know how easy it is to be al little heavy on the gas, especially if you are running late.
As a citizen living in Florida, understanding the traffic laws is your responsibility, this includes traffic control devices.
The Florida Statute 316 describes a speed detection system as, “A portable or fixed automated system used to detect a motor vehicle’s speed using radar or LiDAR and to capture a photograph or video of the rear of a motor vehicle that exceeds the speed limit in force at the time of the violation.”
Violating one of these traffic control devices is unlawful and can result in a noncriminal moving violation. This is typically in the form of a fine as well as points on your driver’s license. It can also lead to your driver’s license being suspended and eventually revocation..
“The trend we are seeing in the number of these dangerous speeding violations is very alarming. It underscores the need for all motorists in Florida to take their driving privilege seriously and to remember that the posted speed limit is not merely a suggestion – it is mandatory to keep everyone safe,” said FLHSMV Executive Director Terry L. Rhodes.
