How to behave when pulled over by the police for driving violations in Miami?
Aside from keeping the city and its neighborhood’s safe, Florida police officers also need to make sure that traffic regulations are respected. Visitors driving in Florida should immediately stop and pull over when asked to by a police officer. Customs in dealing with this situation varies from country to country. Forget what you know about other places. Our Florida guide gives the first tip: Stop safely but promptly. Next, stay in your vehicle, keep your hands on the steering wheel and wait calmly for the officer to approach you. If you see the officer carefully approaching you with his hand close to his gun, do not worry. That is standard procedure.
• Wait patiently and do not get out of your vehicle unless told
• Express yourself calmly and respectfully.
• Be apologetic
• Accept fines and documents given to you. If you disagree with the charges, you don’t have to sign them
• Do not attempt to offer money to get out of trouble. You will end up in jail
After your encounter with the officer, you may hire a traffic lawyer to argue your fines and violations for driving in Florida. Even if you are guilty of the violation, a good traffic lawyer can get you out of trouble. The Florida guide states that on average, violators who win will pay the lawyer about $100 and will not get points on their driver’s license or increased insurance rates. If you lose, there will be points on your license and you will pay legal fees and the fine. Of course, if you are not from the US, points from driving in Florida will not affect your driver’s license. If you intend to come back to the US as a resident, pay any fines you may have from driving in Florida. Otherwise, they may be held against you.

What to do if you get in an accident in Miami.
Be careful driving in Florida. When renting a car, vacationers should always purchase full insurance or pay with a premium credit card that provides similar benefits in case of a car accident in Florida. If you are responsible for injuries of another person you will be liable for what will probably be a large sum of money. Keep yourself well protected with sufficient insurance coverage. If you get injured from a car accident in Florida, it is sure to be costly so be sure to have the best coverage possible. If you have a car accident in Florida, leave your car stationed as it was when it was hit and call 911.
If you must move your car, take a picture of the accident before moving it. If you have a car accident in Florida on a highway, clear they way and move your vehicle to the most right or left lane while you wait for the police to arrive. Be careful driving in Florida and enjoy your vacation.
