Florida D-6 License Suspensions

If you fail to appear for court after receiving a criminal citation or civil traffic infraction or if you fail to pay a fine, the court may suspended your Florida driver license by issuing a D-6 suspension. In order to reinstate your Florida driver license, you must obtain a D-6 clearance form showing that you have satisfied an outstanding court requirement. In order to reinstated your Florida driver license, you must provide the D-6 clearance form (or D6 clearance) to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV).

Many people who are unfamiliar with the system decide that the easiest way to obtain the Florida D-6 clearance is to pay the outstanding ticket so that the driver license can be reinstated. Paying the tickets, however, means that the individual is adjudicated guilty of the offense which may trigger another suspension of the Florida driver license. For many individuals, the best course is to talk to a criminal defense attorney that focuses on suspended driver's license issues before you obtain the D-6 clearance.

A criminal defense attorney can help you obtain a Floida D-6 Clearance form by requesting a court date so that you can continue driving while your lawyer fights the citation. At the hearing on the citation, your attorney can fight for the citation to be dismissed, or request that the court "withhold adjudication" so that you are not convicted, do not receive any points on your driver's license record, and do not receive another suspension if the citation is for a serious driving offense such as driving while license suspended either with or without knowledge.
