To recover driving privileges, completion of a driver safety course may be required for license reinstatement. Whether you have lost your driving privileges because you accumulated too many points or your license was suspended following a traffic violation, you must meet certain conditions to become eligible for license reinstatement.
A Miami defense attorney will help you sort through these conditions, which include:
• Serving your required suspension period;
• Paying any applicable fees;
• Providing proof of insurance; and
• Completing a driver safety course.
Life without a driver's license may be difficult, so making sure that you meet the eligibility requirements to get your license back is very important.
Driver Safety Courses
Many traffic violations require completion of a 12-hour Advanced Driver Improvement course to have your license reinstated. There are several schools throughout Florida that offer both live and online courses.
The purpose of the Advanced Driver Improvement course is to teach drivers how to safely operate a vehicle and identify the reasons for their poor driving records and violations. Individuals in this course are required to take a number of quizzes as well as a final exam.
Driving under the influence (DUI) offenders will be required to complete DUI School in order to get their license back. These live courses cover a number of topics related to the use of alcohol and/or drugs, such as the effect alcohol has on an individual's ability to operate a vehicle and how to identify alcohol and drug use patterns.
Please note that paper certificates of completion will not be accepted when applying for license reinstatement. Your course provider should report your completion to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
Traffic Offenses and Suspension
The length of your license suspension and the time at which you are eligible to get your license back depends on why your license was suspended. If you lost your license because of point accumulation, you could lose your license for 30 days if you receive 12 points within 12 months, three months if you receive 18 points within 18 months, and 12 months if you received 24 points within 36 months. In order to have your license reinstated once the probation period is up, or to apply for a hardship license, you will be required to complete an Advanced Driver Improvement course.
Habitual offenders may have their license revoked for five years. One year after the date of the revocation, you may apply for a hardship license. In order to become eligible for the hardship license, successful completion of the Advanced Driver Improvement course is required.
For DUI offenses, completion of the Advanced Driver Improvement course may be required in addition to DUI School. Attending a court-approved DUI School is necessary for license reinstatement.
