Be sure your current address is listed with Driver Licensing.
You might be about to get some bad news.
-------
Did you read my previous post about getting a ticket/points off?

You might also look at www.familyblessing.com.

^So it's like health insurance? But the money go towards attorney services.

I routinely drive 10-15 mph over the speed limit. I have driven through speed traps at 10 mph over the limit more times than I can count since I moved to FL 4 years ago and I have yet to receive a speeding ticket or be pulled over for speeding. I don't see much use for a radar detector unless you plan on travelling at 15+ mph over for long periods of time. I also slow down at the top of overpasses on hwy 19, there seems to be speedtraps on 19 in Largo every day, always between the overpasses.

I drive my car like the snowbirds that come down, usually only like 5 mph above the speed limit. Ive been driving for a lil over 2 years total and I have 8 moving violation tckets. The catch is I have no points and my insurance is $112 a month for a first time male driver in a v8 mustang. I have yet to get points on ANY of my tickets(well except the last one, and ill tell you if I get points or not on the 21rst) and I also have never hired a lawyer. Its hard to avoid tickets but getting around them arent very hard.

Its between Ulmerton and East bay, right? I go there just about everyday. And also watch out between 118th Ave. and 126th Ave on US19.

Wastes gas?
Is that why my car has it's best fuel efficiency at 90mph?
If i can keep it in 5th i do.
