School is back in session this week in Florida, which means that you will start to see the flashing yellows again when you drive through school zones. The minimum ticket for speeding in a school zone is around $150, depending on where you drive, but it can increase sharply depending on how fast you are going so remember to slow down when you see the flashing lights.
Also, remember to stop for school buses! If a school bus is stopped with its flashing stop signs on, you are required to stop if you are going in either direction, The only exception is that you do not have to stop for school buses that are facing the opposite direction if there is a physical barrier, such as a wall or an unpaved median, between you and the oncoming traffic.
Drive safely and if you do find yourself ticketed, consider speaking to an experienced traffic ticket attorney. At The Ticket Clinic, we have handled over 1 million traffic-related offenses! Call us at 1.800.CITATION.
