A defendant's admission or an official's determination that the defendant committed a traffic infraction constitutes a "conviction" as that term is used in chapters 318 and 322, Florida Statutes, and section 943.25, Florida Statutes, unless the official withheld adjudication as permitted by law. Elections under section 318.14(9) or (10), Florida Statutes, when adjudication is withheld, do not constitute convictions, but require collection of assessments under section 943.25, Florida Statutes.
