Did you know that almost 30% of Florida drivers currently have their license suspended for one reason or another? That high number should alert you to just how easy it is to get your license suspended and how seriously police in Clearwater and throughout the state take laws surrounding safe driving.
To begin, here are some reasons why an individual would have his or her license suspended in Clearwater:
- Habitual traffic offender: Those three words pretty much sum it up! A habitual traffic offender is a driver that just keeps getting in trouble with the law when driving. In Clearwater, a driver is considered to be a habitual traffic offender if he or she was received three major violations in the last five years or fifteen convictions for various moving violations with points in the last five years. Under either evaluation, a Clearwater driver will be classified as a habitual traffic offender and have his or her license suspended for five years.
- D–6: Around 2.6 million drivers in the state of Florida have a D-6 license suspension. Failing to take action on a court citation or failing to comply with a court directive are the common reasons why a driver would have a D-6 license suspension.
