    Quite right. So it was very much worthwhile (in my case) to do TWD + de novo, especially since I had already paid and there really wasn't anything else for me to lose. I would recommend everyone see theirs through.

    The only disadvantage is that the option of traffic school may not be available if you lose at trial. It is common in CA for courts to decline a request for TS when you lose at trial. So, that has to be a consideration - especially if your defense is not really a defense, but a crap shoot to see if the officer shows up. But, most courts also give the last minute option to plead guilty and accept TS if eligible after the roll call is taken. One last chance.

    This is what I said in Post #5.
