Traffic School In California
You typically take traffic school after you have been issued a citation. You are eligible for traffic school if:
| Eligibility |
 |
You have a valid driver license. |
|
You were ticketed for a moving violation (e.g., speeding, red light). |
|
You have not taken traffic school for a ticket you got in the last 18 months. |
Courtesy Notice
You receive a courtesy notice about two weeks after getting a ticket. The courtesy notice tells you if you are eligible for traffic school.
Charge Dismissed | No Points
After completing traffic school the court will dismiss your charge, and the DMV will not assign any points to your driving record.
This means that only the court will be aware of the ticket and that you attended traffic school. Most importantly, your insurance company will not know.
County By County
Online traffic school programs in California are monitored by each county. Therefore, what you must do depends on the county in which
you were ticketed. Select your county below to find out more.
