How Florida classifies this section
s. 322.31 is not within § 318.14(1)'s noncriminal-infraction list
This section is outside the list § 318.14(1) makes noncriminal, and outside chapter 316 — so the civil pay/school/hearing election does not attach to it by that route. Charges under it proceed under the charged statute's own terms (many are criminal traffic offenses). The verbatim text below, when in the corpus, is what controls; a licensed attorney is the right reader for a charge in this lane.
