Direct source-backed answer
FL points thresholds (Fla. Stat. §322.27(3)): 12 pts / 12 mo → 30-day susp; 18 pts / 18 mo → 3-mo susp; 24 pts / 36 mo → 1-yr susp. Standard points reinstatement is administrative -: serve the suspension period → pay ~$75 reinstatement fee + $6.25 service + license fees at a DL service center, OR reinstate online at mydmvportal.flhsmv.gov. No course required for standard full reinstatement (the 12-hr ADI course is only for a hardship/early permit during the suspension, or for HTO reinstatement). No SR-22 for standard points. ⚠ HTO (Habitual Traffic Offender) is a SEPARATE PATH - handled by the intake status gate (attorney referral). Per Fla. Stat. §322.264, an HTO designation = 15 point-bearing moving-violation convictions in 5 yrs OR 3 major offenses in 5 yrs (DUI / DWLS-with-knowledge / motor-vehicle felony / hit-and-run) → 5-YEAR LICENSE REVOCATION (not suspension); driving as HTO is a 3rd-degree felony. Reinstatement is discretionary + heavy: 12-mo wait → BAR petition/hearing for hardship (fitness/need investigation); full reinstatement only after 5 yr with 12-hr ADI course + $150 fee + FR-44 + retaking written/road-signs/driving exams. Kept here for reference; HTO drivers are intercepted at intake and routed out, not down this row. ⚠ Recent law: "Isaiah's Law" (ch. 2026-53, eff. 7/1/2026) adds no-valid-license (NVDL) convictions to the HTO trigger list. Planning to re-verify HTO conditions periodically.
