Unveiling the Mystery: Digging Up Your Traffic School Past
There are a couple of ways to crack the code on your traffic school attendance. Here are your best bets:
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
The Clerk of Court Knows All (Almost): In Florida, traffic schools are required to electronically file your completion certificate with the clerk of the court. This means a trip to the clerk's website (or a friendly phone call) might hold the answer. Word to the wise: dust off your detective hat, because searching these records might require some digging.
The School Themselves Might Remember (Maybe): While not guaranteed, some traffic schools might have your past enrollments on record. Think of it like that time you swore you returned that library book in high school, only to find a late fee notice tucked away in a dusty textbook years later. (cue dramatic music) Worth a shot, but don't get your hopes up too high.

Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Florida law limits you to attending traffic school once every 12 months, and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. So, if you're pushing that limit, it might be time to channel your inner Lewis Hamilton...safely, of course!
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
