    Default Traffic School

    My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: CA

    I am inquiring about traffic school in regards to a 22349(a) speeding ticket. It seems that I meet the qualifications to go to traffic school.

    My understanding is that if you attend traffic school, your insurance premiums will not go up and you will not receive points on your DMV record...is this correct?

    Also, if I decide to contest my ticket through written declaration or Trial de novo, can I lose my option to go to traffic school? In other words, can the judge take away that option as a result of contesting the ticket?

    Lastly, I had a ticket about 8 years ago and I don't remember having to pay the court for the right to attend traffic school...has something changed?

    1) If you do traffic school, you get no points. Usually, your insurance does not go up... however, if your insurance company learns of your ticket (because traffic school does involve a guilty verdict), then your rates could go up. That's between you and your ins. company.

    2) By law, the court must give the same consideration for traffic school after a trial as before. However, many people here will confirm that judges frequently ignore the law and implement their own little policies.

    3) Nothing has changed... that is simply your "honorarium" to the California Don. Call it what you like... but it is nothing more than extortion.
