What Are My Options?

Once you receive a traffic citation you have 90 days from the date of issuance to take one of three courses of action.

• Pay the citation either in person or online.
• Pay the citation & take a driver improvement course to help reduce the number of points against your license. Visit the DHSMV Driver Improvement School site for more information.
• Contest the ticket in court. Download and complete the Affidavit of Defense then file it with the Clerk of Court at 339 East Macclenny Avenue, Macclenny FL, 32063.
