SunPass and Toll Violation Attorneys in South Florida
In the state of Florida, the failure to pay a required toll is a moving violation that can result in points against your license, a fine, and for drivers with other violations, it may result in a driver's license suspension. For multiple toll violations and SunPass violations, a driver may be branded an habitual offender and could lose his or her license for up to five years.
If you have received a toll violation notice in the mail, you need to understand the potential charges against you and how to minimize the negative consequences of a SunPass violation. At Ferrer Shane, PL, we will work hard to get the violation against you dismissed or to get the penalties reduced. We can typically resolve your issue in a cost-effective and timely manner.

There are many reasons why you could receive an unpaid toll notice and a violation letter, even if you have followed the law. Many times, you may not even know about the violation until you check your mailbox. These instances include:
- Inaccurate license plate information on your SunPass account
- Incorrect address information
- Incorrectly mounted transponder or an improperly functioning transponder
- Dead batteries in the transponder
- Funds in your SunPass account have run out
In these and other instances, a traffic camera will take a picture of your license plate and will use DMV information to send you a violation warning. Unlike moving violations and speeding tickets, where the violation is issued against the driver of the vehicle, a toll violation is issued to the owner of the vehicle.
These innocent mistakes and malfunctions can have a significant impact on your life. Don't let these simple errors result in penalties that will affect you long after the violation occurs.
