After You Finish

Finish the course. We hand you everything the court needs.

From final exam to closed citation, here's the whole path:

Step 1

You finish the course

90 minutes, two easy units, any device. Pass the exam with unlimited free retakes.

Step 2

Your certificate is ready instantly

Downloads free the moment you finish. No processing fee, no waiting for the mail.

Step 3

Your clerk closes the citation

You provide the certificate to the Clerk of Court in the county where you got your ticket.

Meanwhile, we file your completion with FLHSMV for you — the state has your record on file.

Not your first 316.306 ticket? A second offense is a moving violation too, but this course can only waive the points for a first offense. You can usually elect our Basic Driver Improvement course instead — and keep the points off that way. Go to the BDI Course →

The Payoff

One ticket. One course. Zero points.

Required by law

The 3 points must be waived

If this is your first offense and you complete an approved course, Florida law requires it — no points touch your license.

F.S. 316.306(4)(a)

The clerk's call

The fine and court costs may be waived

That part is up to the Clerk of Court. The law says the fine and costs may be waived, not must. So we won't promise it. Your clerk can tell you what they do.

The ripple effect

Your record stays clean of points

With the assessment of points waived, nothing from this citation adds points to your license. What your insurer does with your record is its call, not ours.

Held in reserve

It doesn't burn a traffic school election

The WCD course does not count against your lifetime Basic Driver Improvement elections. If you ever need BDI later, it's still fully available.

Eligibility

Who can take this course

You got a ticket for using a handheld wireless device (phone, tablet, or similar) while driving.
The ticket was issued in a designated school crossing, school zone, or work zone. The citation will cite F.S. 316.306.
It's your first offense under this law.
You notify the Clerk of Court within 30 days of your citation.

You're not eligible if…

This is your second (or later) offense under F.S. 316.306. But you can likely elect the BDI course instead.
Your ticket is a regular texting citation (F.S. 316.305), not a school or work zone handheld ticket.
You didn't notify the court within 30 days of your citation.

Court-ordered to take a WCD course by a judge? This course satisfies that too. Unsure about your situation? Your county Clerk of Court can confirm before you enroll.

Your citation	First 316.306 offense	Second (or later) 316.306	Texting citation (316.305)
What the ticket is	Handheld use in a school zone, school crossing, or active work zone	The same violation again	Texting while driving, anywhere in Florida
What it carries	A moving violation · 3 points · $60 base fine + county court costs	A moving violation	Set by the citation
Does this course waive the points?	Yes — Florida law says they must be waived on completion	No	No — it is not this course's ticket
The fine and court costs	The clerk may waive them too	Not through this course	Not through this course
If not this course, then what	Nothing else needed	You can usually elect the BDI course instead	Ask your clerk which election your citation allows
Your deadline	Elect it with the Clerk of Court within 30 days	The clerk sets the election deadline	The clerk sets the election deadline

Which phone ticket you have, and what this course can do about it. The waiver is for a first offense under the school-zone and work-zone law. A texting ticket falls under a different law. The 30 days is the time Florida gives you to answer any ticket (F.S. 318.14). F.S. §316.306(4)(a) verified Sep 2026

Know The Law

Florida's cell phone law — what's actually illegal

Florida Statute 316.306, minus the legalese. The whole rule fits on one line:

A phone in your hand Talking, texting, scrolling — any handheld use while driving.

One of three zones School zone School crossing Active work zone

The ticket Moving violation · 3 points · $60 base fine + court costs.

Still legal

Hands-free — even in those zones

Bluetooth, voice control, and built-in vehicle systems are all fine, school and work zones included. The law is about the phone in your hand.

Easy to miss

Work zones only count when workers are present

The ban applies only while construction workers are on the road or right next to it.

Is Florida a hands-free state? (Updated September 2026)

No — not yet. As of September 2026, Florida bans texting while driving statewide (F.S. 316.305). It also bans all handheld device use in school zones, school crossings, and active work zones (F.S. 316.306). Holding your phone on other roads is not, by itself, illegal.

Lawmakers tried to change that in 2026. Senate Bill 1152 would have banned handheld phone use statewide, but it was never heard in committee. Its House companion (HB 1241) died in the State Affairs Committee in March 2026. Expect the debate to return next session — we keep this page updated.

Questions, in the order people ask them

The Florida WCD course, answered

Does Florida have a hands-free law?

Not statewide. Texting while driving is illegal everywhere in Florida. Handheld phone use is banned in school zones, school crossings, and active work zones under F.S. 316.306. A statewide hands-free bill (SB 1152) failed in the 2026 session. Its House companion (HB 1241) died in committee in March 2026. See the current-law summary on this page — we keep it updated.

How many points is a cell phone ticket in a Florida school zone?

3 points, plus a $60 base fine and court costs that vary by county. Complete this course for a first offense, and the points must be waived. The clerk may also waive the fine and costs.

Will the Florida WCD course remove points from my license?

If it's your first offense under F.S. 316.306 and you elect the course with your Clerk of Court within 30 days — yes. Florida law says the points must be waived when you complete an approved course.

Do I still have to pay my ticket if I take the WCD course?

You'll pay the clerk's costs when you elect the course. Each county sets its own amount. The citation fine and court costs may be waived by the clerk once you complete the course. That part is the clerk's call. The law says "may", not "must", so we won't promise it.

Does the WCD course count as one of my Florida traffic school elections?

No. The WCD course does not count against your lifetime Basic Driver Improvement elections. If you need BDI for a different ticket later, it's still available.

How long is the Florida Wireless Communications Device course?

90 minutes — the state minimum and the maximum we'll take of your time. Two easy units. Start and stop whenever you like; your progress saves automatically.

What's on the final exam?

20 multiple-choice questions. You need 16 correct (80%) to pass, and retakes are free and unlimited. You can't fail your way out of this.

Can I take it on my phone?

Yes — phone, tablet, laptop, desktop. Switch devices mid-course and pick up where you left off.

What happens after I finish the WCD course?

Your certificate downloads instantly and free. You provide it to the Clerk of Court in the county where you got your ticket. The clerk then closes out the citation. We also file your completion with FLHSMV for you.

What if this is my second phone ticket in a Florida school or work zone?

A second 316.306 offense is a moving violation too, but this course can only waive the points for a first offense. You can usually elect the Basic Driver Improvement course instead and keep the points off that way.

Is Highway Traffic School approved to offer the Florida WCD course?

Yes — we're licensed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) for the Wireless Communications Device course. We've served over 116,000 students since 2014, and we're accepted in all 67 Florida counties. You can verify our approval on FLHSMV's list of WCD course providers.

90 minutes from now, this ticket is handled.

One course. One clear price. Zero points on your license.
