the TBD decision notice did not offer me a traffic school option...you have to be careful when advising similar approach to folks here. If they're ready to go to court to get their traffic school, it matters not: the law is on their side and they will likely get it. But if they can't go to court, for whatever reason (too far, for example) ,they may not be able to get it after TBD. This is something to be aware of when picking your strategy to fight the ticket
I believe you and generally agree with your reasoning here but it should be said that courts are not supposed to be doing this. It is an unethical, illegal practice. If traffic school is offered by the clerk, you contest your citation in any manner (TBWD or trial) and the judge does not rescind traffic school in his sentence or by order, the clerk can not choose to rescind the offer. They are not in a position to make that type of decision. The issue is exacerbated if the clerk has been instructed to deny all TBWD defendants. What a shame.

Did you call the court and attempt to attend traffic school anyways or are you just assuming that it was denied because they were moot on the point?
