Florida’s Definition for HTO

First, Florida Statutes 322.264, says a “habitual traffic offender (HTO)” is a person whose Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles records show an accumulation of three or more of the following convictions for separate offenses within a 5-year timeframe:

• DUI (Driving under the influence)
• Voluntary or involuntary manslaughter
• Any felony resulting from the use of a motor vehicle
• Driving while a license suspended or revoked
• Failing to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle crash
• Driving a commercial motor vehicle while disqualified to do so

Furthermore, habitual traffic offender status also can result from 15 convictions for moving traffic violations within five years under the Florida point system.

Thus, if caught driving as an HTO, you can face a conviction of a third-degree felony. The penalties could include:
