I'm in Florida. I was involved in an accident yesterday, it was glaringly my fault, and I know it.
I also, received a ticket for careless driving, and damaged 2 other vehicles - not totaled, but I'm responsible.
Here in Florida, we have an option to elect to take a driver education course which would result in adjudication and no points on my license.
While this costs more than the ticket, and it's not in doubt my insurance will be going up; what I want to know, is - is it worthwhile to just suck it up pay the fee, get the points on my record since my insurance will be increasing regardless? Or would the no-points, drivers education route save me more money in the long run?
Thanks for the insight,
Ariel
