Florida Traffic Laws Regarding Motorcycles - Orlando Area
Florida has several infractions that are specific to motorcycles and their drivers. Most of these were created by legislators that do not ride motorcycles. If you have been cited for a motorcycle specific infraction - call us today, we can help.
We have been practicing this law for a long time
I practice strictly criminal law. I have been doing so since 1995. My staff and I will vigorously defend your case and keep you informed of all new developments. We do not rest until your case has been resolved and we do not avoid trials. I practice criminal trial law and criminal appellate law. I know the law and the defenses that apply to your case. I have studied the law and constantly stay abreast of all new legal cases that may help my clients (See my Law Blog for Attorneys). This is what I do and I want your good word of mouth when your case is resolved.
POPPING A WHEELIE IS A $1,000.00+ FINE
Not keeping both wheels on the ground while driving a motorcycle is an infraction under s. 316.2085, FS. Under 316.1926 "Additional Offenses" it falls into the $1,000 fine category along with driving 50 mph over the speed limit.
THE HORIZONTAL TAG DEBACLE - Has Been Repealed!
§316.2085(3) - The license tag of a motorcycle or moped no longer must be permanently affixed horizontally to the ground. However, it must be affixed so that it cannot be adjusted or capable of being flipped up.
SPEEDING - 50mph Over the Limit
Speeding is always a temptation for motorcyclists. Advice: Don't do it. Speeds in excess of 29 mph over the speed limit require a mandatory court appearance (unless you hire us to represent you) and speeds more than 49 mph over the limit mandate a $1,000 fine.
