In general, you can
have a citation suppressed from your
driving record if you have not attended traffic
school in California in the past 18 months, the
violation is not too serious, and it has been at
least 18 months since your last traffic
violation. (If you want to go to a second,
12-hour traffic school course within 18 months,
you can ask for this at your scheduled court
date. The second violation will still appear on
your record.) You cannot attend traffic school
if your ticket was for speeding, and your speed
was more than 20 miles-an-hour over the posted
speed limit.
Drivers
with a commercial drivers license, or drivers
driving a commercial vehicle cannot attend
traffic school to have a violation
suppressed from their record.
Your courtesy notice
will say whether or not you are eligible for
traffic school. If you qualify for traffic
school:
-
Go to the
clerk’s office where your case is
scheduled to be heard to pay the fine
and an administrative fee.
-
Sign up
eligible for InterActive! Traffic School and pay the
traffic school fee.
-
Send proof of
paying for and completing traffic school
to the court where your case is being
heard.
