If you got a ticket and did not pay it, your driving privilege in the State of Florida is more than likely suspended. Even if you do not have a Florida License they suspend your privilege to drive in Florida. If you are pulled over again while here and they run your name through the DHSMV computer system it will come up suspended and you will be arrested for "Driving while License Suspended or Revoked" Florida State Statue 322.34. A Misdemeanor. You will be taken to the Orange County Sheriff's Office where you will be booked in and allowed to bail out or sign for yourself and get out on your own signature. Since you are a foreign national, they may hold you to appear before a judge. Then if after that you fail to appear as required and are pulled over again, they issue a warrant for your arrest and you will be held until you appear before a judge again. Then its up to him what you do or what they do with you. You can also go here to e-mail them and ask how you can get this taken care of before you come back to FLorida: http://adlts4.hsmv.state.fl.us/ddl/emailsystem/emailrecordadd.cfm For those wishing to see if their Florida DL is valid they can go here to find out: http://www6.hsmv.state.fl.us/dlcheck/dlcheckinq Good luck and drive safe!
