The Florida Department of Transportation wants Circuit Judge John Galluzzo who dissmissed an estimated 7,000 traffic tickets to reassess his ruling. FDOT says it’s too wide-ranging. The FDOT has filed court documents to ask Circuit Judge John Galluzzo for a rehearing of the case. The case involved drivers with malfunctioning transponders used to pay tolls. Department attorney Gregory Costas said Galluzzo was mistaken to issue such a sweeping ruling in this case. The Judge was only asked to rule only in the case of one driver.

Galluzzo dismissed the tickets, which involved drivers in Seminole and Brevard counties, in April.

The citations that were dismissed involved drivers who had E-Pass and SunPass toll systems. Millions of senseless sunpass, e-pass, o-pass and leeway tickets are issued every day by FDOT and MDX to drivers that are then forced to deal with the state’s bureaucratic morass.
