Points And Suspension
Fla. Stat. 322.27 — 12 points in 12 months, 18 in 18, 24 in 36
Points are separate from the fine. A license is lost to points by accumulation over a period, rather than by any one ticket.

Camera violations. Points are not imposed for speed or school bus violations enforced by an automated detection system under the sections the statute names. The schedule lists moving violations; a nonmoving violation is not on it.
Insurance surcharges, commercial license rules, suspensions for a single serious offense such as impaired driving, and reinstatement fees are set elsewhere and are not on this page. Counting the points on a particular record is a question for the state's licensing agency or a licensed Florida attorney.
