Speeders, Be Warned!

In an effort to balance the state budget of Florida, lawmakers are raising the cost of traffic tickets. The state legislature is meeting in a special session, and all traffic tickets will increase by $10. All speeding tickets will be bumped up an additional $25. Additionally, speeders will no longer get a break on their tickets by taking a driver’s education course, as was allowed in the past. To view the whole story in the Sun Sentinel, click here.
