Florida BDI for 20+ mph over—am I still eligible?
Short answer: Eligibility depends on the exact speed and statute. Florida commonly disallows BDI election for 30+ mph over the limit. If your citation is 20–29 mph over, you may still be eligible to elect BDI within 30 days, but always confirm with the issuing county clerk before you enroll.
What to do next
- Check your citation for the statute and speed tier.
- Call or visit your county Clerk of Court to confirm BDI eligibility.
- If eligible, elect within 30 days, complete an approved course, and submit on time.
