Driver’s License Clinic To Assist Participants In Restoring Driving Privileges
March 4, 2019
The First Judicial Circuit will host a Driver’s License Clinic on Friday, March 8 to assist individuals whose licenses have been revoked, suspended, or cancelled. The event will be held from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the M.C. Blanchard Judicial Building in Pensacola.
Staff from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Escambia County Tax Collector’s Office, Florida Department of Revenue, Escambia County Clerk of Court, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Office of the State Attorney, and the Office of the Public Defender, along with judges and court and community corrections staff, will be on hand to assist registrants and provide individualized information relevant to each participant’s personal circumstances. The goal of the clinic is to provide “one-stop shopping” for citizens to interact with the appropriate state agencies and/or the court, so they can determine how to regain their driving privileges.
Drivers’ licenses may be suspended for a variety of reasons, including failure to pay traffic tickets; the accumulation of too many points on one’s driving record; failure to pay child support; failure to pay or work off fines, fees, and costs imposed as part of a criminal sentence; failure to maintain automobile insurance; failure to register a vehicle or keep or renew the registration; failure to obtain, renew, or return a car tag; or designation as an habitual traffic offender. Licenses may also be revoked as a consequence of entering a plea to certain crimes, such as driving under the influence or certain drug-related offenses.
Convictions for driving while license suspended or revoked can carry serious consequences. A first offense is a second degree misdemeanor. A second offense can be charged as a first degree misdemeanor. A third or subsequent offense can be charged as a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Clinic eligibility is outlined on the Escambia County Driver’s License Clinic event page at https://escambiacountydriverslicenseclinic.eventbrite.com. Availability is limited, so interested persons should register as soon as possible. For more information, please contact court personnel at (850) 595-0550.

Trying to find out about the clinic that I signed up for that’s supposed to be March 6 I registered and booked a spot I’m just trying to make sure that still going on and I still got a seat so anybody know who I contact for that.
Is there going to be another one being held this year.
I am trying to see when is the next car clinic going 2 be held in pensacola or can you go to the one in Tallahassee relly trying to get my license back but i dont have that money at this time
Probably most fines could be paid, but the most Foolish law of all is taking d/l due to back child support. Can’t drive to work so can’t get pay check, so how do you think any fines could be paid. Look before leaping cause the law may just have a warrant for ya so you get jail rather than drivers license.
