Traffic School?

[CardiffBaseball]

Well I earned myself a nice fat speeding ticket, the bill comes in and it’s $287.

I am offered the option of attending Traffic School, whereby I receive no points, (no insurance hit), but fo that the court wants $315.

What I am wondering is how much do the classes cost since nobody seems to say? Is that part of the $315 or am I in for another $40-$80? I see online options but that looks like a big hassle too.

Curious how old-time Californians deal with these issues since I am somewhat recent.

Go with online schools. Much less hassle than their offline equivalents. It’s $30-50 on top of $315 that you pay to the court.

I got you beat. My ticket is $363. I’m fighting it in court (pleaded not guilty, trial set for Sept. 22).

I can do traffic school as well but figure it’s my right to fight so might as well give it a shot first. If that fails I’ll do traffic school.

The online ones are really easy and only like $19.95 usually. The court still wants you to pay the fine + fees but it won’t go on your record so your insurance won’t go up.

IMO it’s all a big scam. I’ve been driving for 20 years and never had an accident but I get speeding tickets fairly regularly. Traffic school won’t help anyone except the courts and the school companies. Not going will help the insurance co. so it’s win-win (except for you, it’s lose-lose).

I was under the impression that if you fight a ticket in court, you are then ineligible for traffic school. Is that not the case?
