My question involves traffic court in the State of: CA

I am going to submit a trial by written declaration. I'm not sure what to ask for if found guilty. I'm talking about this part.

If the court does not find in my favor in this case, I request ...

I read if you ask for a traffic school, it hurts you because you are puttingit out there you'll take traffic school, but some templetes have that.

Or should I say I request a trial de novo? I'm not sure about this because legally I get this requsting it or not. Many it's a scare tactic saying you mean buisness?
