To keep children safe, Florida has created strict laws in areas where they are going to and from school. School zone violations carry heavier penalties than normal speeding tickets.
Not only will you have higher fines to pay, but you’ll also be facing points, which can lead to high insurance premiums or your license being suspended .
No warnings are issued for school zones violations in Florida. Per Florida Statute 316.1895 , penalties for speeding in a school zone are:
Each Florida county will have its own fee schedule. For example, in Orange County, the speeding in a school zone fines are as follows:
If you are caught going 30 mph to 39 mph over the speed limit a second time, the fine will be $1,000 and court is mandatory. The fine for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 mph in a school zone a second time is $5,000 and court is mandatory.
A school zone speeding ticket can also result in points on your record.
