Traffic School?

[Anonymous]

You are supposed to spend 8-hours studying online before taking the test. However, I’ve heard from a “friend” that it can be done in less than 2-hours.

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).[/quote]

A couple points to add to the bit about traffic enforcement. Police shouldnt be pulling you over for speeding on a highway in my opinion unless you are weaving in and out of lanes.

They should focus on speeding tickets in rural areas. They should focus on Stop Sign and Stop light violations since they happen so frequently. They should focus on people that still drive with a cell phone to their ear. They should focus on drivers that dont use turn signals.

Driving 80 in a 65 or even 85-90 in a 65 should not be a high priority with all the people that break so many rules in rural areas where kids are playing and people are riding bikes.

As far as the traffic school, at least CA has that option. A lot of the old school conservative states in this country have yet to adopt such a policy so if you get a ticket you are screwed.

[quote]Well just to see how it works, I went and sat in the audience at the court. I heard many cases and once you’re found “guilty” you can ask the judge if you can do traffic school. If you haven’t done traffic school in the last 18 months you will be eligible[/quote]

Your first mistake was showing up in court first.
Do a trial by declaration, and try to drag it out as long as possible. The longer you drag it out, the less likely the citing officer will respond. Show up in court only after you lose the paper response.

Also speeders would be best serviced in investing in a Escort Passport or Valentine 1.
