    Default Traffic School Option Before Trial Begin

    my question is for traffic court in Los Angeles,CA
    i went for trial at traffic court and we all been asked before trail (before the judge came)if anyone want to have traffic school ...so my question is : Do all judges allow you to choose traffic school if you decide not to fight your ticket on your trial day or it depends on judge ?

    Thank you.

    Its not a general rule... Whether each defendant in that courtroom qualifies for traffic school depends on a number of different factors such as the alleged violation, the class of drivers license, whether he/she has been to traffic school in the last 18 months...

    I should also add that although choosing to take your case to trial does not suggest that you are no longer eligible for traffic school if you happen to be found guilty, however, the judge is under no obligation to approve your request nor does he have to disclose a reason as to why he chose to decline your request.

    So what defendant were offered there might quite possibly be their last opportunity to take that option.

    Depends on the judge.

    If you have taken TVS (traffic violator school) within the last 18 months, you are disqualified.

    However, you can ask for 12 hour TVS.
