Jaywalking is not a term that you encounter much, at least not in Houston, TX, but you should beware Jaywalking is an offense in several US states, including Texas and Florida. Jaywalking regulations are designed to increase pedestrian safety and to reduce vehicle and pedestrian interaction. When it comes to pedestrian safety, some forget, the pedestrian always has the right of way, but must also obey traffic laws. Most crashes involving pedestrians, and most pedestrian fatalities happen at mid-b...
Read More »I recently read a drunk driving story similar to a story in the FloridaWheelsinMotion.com course. According to the New York Times, drunk driver, John Goodman, hit a vehicle, causing it to land in a drainage ditch. The driver of the vehicle suffered unconsciousness and eventually drowned.
As described in the Florida traffic school course, FloridaWheelsinMotion.com, Vanessa Montague's daughter, Mandy was a passenger of a vehicle with a drunk driver. The vehicle was involved in an accident...

No, the 37-year-old woman wasn't on her cellphone. She wasn't texting, either. The Florida Highway Patrol says Ms. Barnes was driving while shaving - there's more - driving while shaving her, uh, "bikini area." Well, that's what the cops call it.
It might not surprise you to learn that during Barnes' ride on the razor's edge, she allegedly crashed into the backup of a pickup truck in Cudjoe Key, Fla, according to CBS affiliate WFOR. Then, she and...Read More »

I recently read an article about an undercover sting operation
which took place in Florida and I must say, I was somewhat
shocked. Apparently, there is a real problem in Volusia
County Florida when it comes to drivers passing school buses,
enough of one, the Volusia County Sheriff's Department
initiated a "special traffic enforcement" to catch people passing
school buses?
It is illegal to pass a stopped school bus, this is something everyone should know!
In Florida, the statute is 316.172 and...Read More »

Read More »A common practice in the world of traffic court has been done away with. It used to be when you got a ticket and took a driver safety course, you only had to pay a partial fine. Back in 2009, Florida lawmakers changed a section of Florida Statute 318.15 eliminating discounts for drivers who attended traffic school.
Rick Silverman, a Tampa traffic attorney, explained that "They gave that discount to make sure the individual wasn't being punished extra on top of just paying the civil penalty,...Read More »

A employee asked me an interesting question one morning after their
commute to work: Have you ever realized that some with noticeably
exotic vehicles tend to drive extra fast or have risk taking
driving behaviors....Yes. I replied. I have definitely
witnessed that before. Some drivers drive with arrogance instead of
courtesy.
This includes big wheel trucks, cars with V8 engines, exotic vehicles, and sometimes 18-wheeled vehicles. On many occasions, I personally, have almost been run over by...Read More »

Brought to you by DefensiveDriving.com - a national leader in driver safety and providers of state approved defensive driving courses, excerpts from Florida Wheels in Motion, a Florida Approved Traffic School below:
A lot of people are unsure how to dismiss their traffic ticket and
there is a reason for this uncertainty - there are a variety
of ways to do it and the laws vary from state to state.
First off, paying the ticket does not dismiss it, when you pay a ticket, it typically indicates an admission of guilt and if the state has a points system, those points typically end up on your driver record, which drive up your auto insurance.
Ticket dismissal can be done one of two ways, you can contest your...Read More »

Distracted driving was named the word of the year in 2009 by
Webster's dictionary. It is hard to believe the problem
which has been with us for more than a decade, has been elevated so
highly in the public consciousness as of late.
The new focus has also led to a virtual plethora of new companies,
industries and applications all designed at making us safer drivers
by either suppressing the ability to text or talk while driving,
tracking the actual driver behavior in the vehicle via GPS or...
Traffic school has several benefits for Floridians. Not only
does it allow a reduction of points, but students who complete
Traffic-School-Florida.com may receive
discounts for auto insurance (always check with your provider to
confirm your discount). Often, we at Traffic-School-Florida.com receive many
questions about point reduction.
Today we will address a very important
question: "How do I take Basic
Driver Improvement for point reduction?"
- If you receive a citation, check with the Clerk...
Yesterday I was driving on the Eastex Freeway right by where the
Astros play at Minutemaid Park and saw something you really do not
see everyday here in Houston. It was either ice or snow
which had been packed in someones tire housing, there plain as day,
a big clump of the stuff. I am surprised it did not cause an
accident, because we are just not used to seeing or driving around
snow in the south.
The entire Southeast is currently blanketed in a cold and icy blanket of the stuff and I was...Read More »

I recently read a report about a boater whose boat capsized in the
Gulf of Mexico. The owner of the boat originated from Florida and
like many Florida boaters- never took a boating driver safety
course. The owner commented:
"I suspect it's an attitude similar to people who don't wear helmets on their motorcycles," a statement similar to those who don't wear seat belts.
Nearly 90 percent of boaters involved in accidents between 2004 and 2009 never have taken a boating safety course in Florida....Read More »

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the nation’s rate of motor vehicle crashes with fatalities has declined steadily and is now the safest on record. However, crashes continue to kill tens of thousands of Americans and injure millions more every year. Two groups of drivers are at risk of being involved in vehicle crashes: teen drivers and senior drivers. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other...

policy on Drunken Driving." With more holidays coming soon law
enforcement will be heavy on the roadways to enforce no drinking

According to Florida State Traffic School,
under 2006 Florida Statutes, Title XXIII, any person convicted of
driving under the influence shall be punished by a fine of:
