Is this course licensed by the State of California?

Yes! Your California online traffic school course is state-licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to meet all requirements for a traffic ticket. It is available throughout the state, in cities and counties such as:

…and many more!

 

 

How often can you attend traffic school in California?

You may only attend a traffic violator school program for a ticket once every 18 months, unless you receive special permission from the court.

 

 

If I attend traffic school, do I still have to pay a fine?

In most cases yes. If you are granted permission to attend traffic school, you will need to pay all court fines & fees, in addition to the cost of the traffic school course.

 

 

Does traffic school erase points in California?

Points are not erased in California. Taking a licensed traffic school course in California will prevent points from appearing on your public driving record, which prevents your insurance company from seeing them, but they will not be erased from your DMV record.

 

 

Do you have to go to traffic school for a speeding ticket?

Generally, traffic school is not something that is required—it is a nice option to have in order to avoid having points visible on your driving record. Traffic school is something you must be eligible for and must have permission to attend.

 

 

How long do I have to pay the traffic ticket fine?

Your citation will list a deadline for paying your traffic ticket/appearing in court, unless you are under the age of 18. If you’re under 18, this information will be sent to you by the court at a later date.

 

 

Can I renew my registration with a speeding ticket on my record?

When it comes time to renew your vehicle’s registration, the DMV will look to see if there are any outstanding issues. If the DMV finds a “failure to pay” or “failure to appear,” they can refuse to renew your car’s registration.

Therefore, if you fail to pay your traffic fine by the deadline, your driver’s license could be suspended, and you will typically not be allowed to renew your registration until you have paid your ticket, as well as any other outstanding tickets/fees on your record.
