    Default Court Didn't Receive Traffic School Notice - Now I Have a Point on Record

    My question involves traffic court in the State of California.

    I was cited in May of 2009 for exceeding posted speeds in the city of Beverly Hills, CA. I paid the ticket after an extension, and successfully completed a city-sanctioned and approved online traffic school course, which further stated that a proof of traffic school completion would be sent directly to the LA Superior Court. The only action that I was recommended was to call the LA Superior Court to ensure that the certificate was received. Seeing as how trying to call and speak to any human voice on the phone at the LA Superior Court traffic system is a crapshoot, I wasn't able to do this.

    I might also add that I completed the course well (3-4 weeks) within a reasonable time for shipping/faxing of the certificate to the court.

    You can imagine my surprise when, while switching insurance companies, the pesky citation hasn't cleared, a moving violation for the ticket was noted, and the requisite point on my DMV record stands. I therefore lose my "Good Driver" discount, and watched my 6-month rates rise nearly $500.

    When I logged online to the appropriate website to investigate, here is what I found:

    Citation Number:
    _

    Law Enforcement Agency:
    Beverly Hills Police Department
    Name:
    Court: Beverly Hills Courthouse
    9355 Burton Way, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
    (213) 742-6648
    Violation Date: 05/23/2009
    Initial Due Date: 07/22/2009
    Case Status: Case Closed
    Disposition: Bail forfeiture on 10/26/2009
    Last Action: Traffic school
    Last Action/
    New Appearance Date: 10/26/2009 in TIP

    What does "TIP" mean, and how do I fix this? Do I speak to the DMV or go to the Court?

    Default Re: Speeding Ticket - Did Traffic School - Point Still on Record

    It appears that the court never received your traffic school completion certificate. Take a copy of your completion certificate to the courthouse and ask them to fix the problem (calmly).
