The violation letter
City of Lawtey Notice of Violation — the fine-print tollbooth that makes “due process” cost more than rolling over.

What the notice actually says
The back of the notice cites Florida Statutes 316.1895(10) and 316.1896. It calls the matter a non-criminal infraction with no points and no insurance-rate use — while steering you hard toward payment.
- Option A: Pay $100.00 (plus 5% convenience fee online/phone).
- Option B: Affidavit if the car was sold, stolen, or another driver is named — false affidavit = 2nd-degree misdemeanor.
- Option C: Request a hearing. If the hearing officer upholds it, you owe the $100 plus additional costs not to exceed $250.
Fail to respond and it can escalate to a Uniform Traffic Citation: $100 + $106 court costs on the notice’s warning path — and a lost UTC hearing can mean civil penalties up to $1,000 and possible driving privilege issues. The “choice” is structured like a threat tree.
