Florida Statute 316.075, but more specifically defines it in s. 316.123:

“… The right-of-way at an intersection may be indicated by stop signs or yield signs… Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop… but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection. After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another highway or which is approaching so closely on said highway as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when the driver is moving across or within the intersection…”

While there are many different factual scenarios for a violation of right of way, what these charges have in common with most people who have been given this ticket is that a violation of right of way is almost always entirely reliant upon an eyewitness testimony, usually that of the charging police officer. Our office can ascertain if the court will have sufficient evidence to present in these matters.  A skilled attorney in our office, more often than not these charges can be lessened if not altogether dismissed from our client’s record.

The Florida Move Over Law was enacted in 2002 in order to prevent the number of accidents caused by motorists against law enforcement officers, first responders and other emergency officials who are injured or killed during stops on Florida highways and roads. Specifically, the law states that all motorists on 2-lane or higher roadways are now required to move over a lane or slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit when approaching an emergency vehicle that has its lights flashing. If driving on a single-lane road, drivers must slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit, or 5 mph if driving on a road with a posted speed limit of 25 mph or less.  Failing to do so will serve as you possibly getting a ticket that if not properly handled by our traffic ticket attorneys will get you three (3) points on your license.  Call our office to see how we can help you with this type of traffic ticket.

The offense of Racing on Highways, or ‘Street Racing,’ is defined in Section 316.191, Florida Statutes. Under the law, ‘Racing’ can include four categories of conduct:

• Racing, Competitions, and Exhibitions– driving any vehicle (including motorcycles) in any race, speed competition, speed contest, drag race, acceleration contest, test of physical endurance, speed exhibition, acceleration exhibition, or driving for the purpose of making a speed record on any highway, roadway, or parking lot;
• Coordination and Facilitation– participating in, coordinating, facilitating, or collecting moneys at any location for any race, competition, contest, test, or exhibition;
• Passenger Participation– knowingly riding as a passenger in a race, competition, contest, test, or exhibition; and
• Traffic Interference– purposefully causing the movement of traffic to slow or stop for any race, competition, contest, test, or exhibition.

Where the alleged conduct concerns a defendant driving, Florida’s ‘Racing on Highways’ statute cannot be applied unless vehicles are competing with each other. Reaves v. State, 979 So. 2d 1066, 1072 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008).

The penalties are serious:

Florida law classifies Racing on Highways as a first degree misdemeanor, with penalties of up to 1 year in jail. In addition to possible incarceration, a plea to the charge of Street Racing will have the following consequences:

• Fines-For a first offense, there is a minimum $500 fine and maximum fine of up to $1,000. For a second offense, the minimum fine increases to $1,000, with a maximum fine of $3,000;
• Driver’s License Revocation-Under Section 316.191(3)(a), Florida Statutes, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles must revoke an offender’s driving privileges for a minimum period of one year upon conviction, EVEN IF ADJUDICATION IS WITHHELD. For subsequent offenses, the revocation period can increase to four years (for a third offense);
• Possible Vehicle Impoundment/Immobilization-Whenever a law enforcement officer determines that a person was engaged in a drag race or race, as defined in Section 316.191, the officer may immediately arrest and take such person into custody. The officer may then have the vehicle impounded for a period of 30 business days if the police officer has arrested and taken a person into custody and the person being arrested is the registered owner or co-owner of the motor vehicle. Section 316.191(5) also authorizes the trial court to enter an order of impoundment or immobilization as a condition of incarceration or probation;
• Possible Vehicle Forfeiture-any motor vehicle used in violation of the statute by any person within five years after the date of a prior conviction of that person for a violation under the statute may be seized and forfeited as provided by the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act. See Section 316.191(6), referring to 932.701, Florida Statutes. However, this provision is only applicable if the owner of the motor vehicle is the person charged with a violation of the statute;
• Creation of a Criminal Record-A conviction for Racing on Highways or street racing will result in a criminal record, harming employment prospects, causing points to be assessed against your driver’s license, and dramatically increasing your insurance premiums.

If charged with Racing it is imperative to call our office so that we may begin to work on a defense and a way to protect the above noted penalities.
