Los Angeles Traffic School
Over 250,000 drivers take traffic school each year in Los Angeles County. Traffic school is usually the best and least expensive option to get a ticket dismissed and keep points off your record.
The Superior Court of Los Angeles County has over 30 court locations to deal with the 10 million drivers in Los Angeles. Your case will be assigned to one of these courts. The officer who issues you a ticket will
most likely tell you the court. You can also find the court on the citation the officer gives you or the courtesy notice that arrives in the mail a few weeks later.
Dealing with a Ticket
The best way to deal with a ticket is to go to the Superior Court's web site (www.lasuperiorcourt.org) and look up your case in their system. You will be required to enter your citation number and
driver's license or date of birth. The web site will present you with the options and instructions for dealing with the ticket.
You can also track the progress of your ticket by returning to the Superior Court web site and looking up your case. We at Safe2Drive have noticed that often times the web site may be as much as one week behind in the progress of a case.
Keep Points off Your Record
You keep points off your record by attending traffic school. This means your insurance company will not know you got a ticket. Your insurance company will not raise your premium for this reason. It is always a good idea to keep the number of points
on your driver record to a minimum. A clean record is one with zero points.
Eligibility for Traffic School
You are eligible for traffic school if your ticket is for a normal traffic violation (e.g., speeding), and you have not attended traffic school in the last 18 months. The court determines your eligibility and will notify you in the courtesy notice or on their web site.
